Novice finds £1m Iron Age treasure
Updated on 04 November 2009
A novice metal-detecting enthusiast has said he was "stunned" to unearth a £1 million Iron Age treasure hoard during his first outing with the machine.
Safari park keeper David Booth, 35, had owned his metal detector for just five days when he discovered four 2,000-year-old gold neckbands in a Stirlingshire field.
The neckbands, dating from between the 1st and 3rd century BC, are worth an estimated £1 million and the find represents the most important hoard of Iron Age gold in Scotland to date.
