"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." Click here for link -------------------- |

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!!!! |
