One of the UK’s largest hauls of Iron Age gold coins, which would have been worth in today’s money up to £1m, has been found in Suffolk. The 824 so-called staters were found in a broken pottery jar buried in a field near Wickham Market by a local man using a metal detector.

Can you imagine a find like that? I just think it is so neat that there are still stories that crop up like this. I am such an archaeology buff.
I always wished I could go on a dig. This gentleman proved that you can go on a dig without actually traveling thousands of miles to get there!
