"A Iron Age treasure hoard has been unearthed by a safari park keeper using a metal detector for the first time.
David Booth was “stunned” when he found several 2000-year-old gold neckbands in a field in Stirlingshire.
He had driven to the site and parked his car. Then, after taking only seven steps, he found the treasure."

Very lucky man. What a find after only 7 steps.
Just shows what's possible with a metal detector.
Note to self: buy one.

Can I refer the honorable gentleman to a post a few months back replying to the same comment - to summarise, the odds aren't better though are they. Any one with a decent metal detector can easily recoup his money and be in profit within four weeks - never managed that with the lottery!!!!
