Find coins, be treasure

David Booth, the British, found four gold necklaces buried 15 cm below the ground using an ancient metal detector.

When David Booth bought a metal detector, he wanted to make a new hobby, perhaps to find old coins. And in the first test of the device, he discovered a treasure worth up to a million pounds, with many golden jewels from the Iron Age.

The treasure found to be dated to about 300 BC, changed the look of archaeologists about Scotland's ancient inhabitants.

Among the hundreds of specimens found, there were three intact necklaces, two pieces of another necklace, and many gold and silver alloys.

Two of the antiquities are a ribbon necklace, which is tightened with gold and then rolled over. Those are things originating from Scotland and Ireland.

Iron and Roman area manager, Dr. Fraser Hunter, quickly lined up where David Booth found treasure in an important secret cargo.

Since ancient times, the Scottish law stipulates that lost or abandoned treasures or other assets without owners are of course belong to the King. Items found do not belong to the landowner found, nor belong to the founders, but are transferred to the public museum for research and display. However, according to Scottish rules, the person who finds the treasure will receive a bonus corresponding to the value of the treasure found.
