BBC NEWS | England | Leicestershire | Rare treasure found on farmland

Wasn't sure which bit to put it in so Science and Nature it was!

Nothing as nice as those yet. I'm still waiting to find something like those two. The best things I've found so far over the last two years or so are silver coins of various ages, some nice artifacts and a bronze age axe head.

It does show the importance of what metal detectorists can bring to archaeology. Without them, a lot of these finds would be lost forever due to plough and chemical damage. Not long ago, we also discovered the location of a medieval market that no one knew was there. It all adds to the history of this country.
