Bling ping. Perhaps it was one of Cúchulainn’s.

The gold purse is curious. How would such a thing work? Does it open somehow? Any more pictures of it?

“The finder of the item, as well as the landowner, are often then entitled to a discretionary reward.”

Note to self: If you find an artifact on you land, melt it down or it will be confiscated.

This is a cool story. I like the looks of Baby Poppy, who seems suitably impressed.

I suppose the British government will be confiscating it for a pittance, as usual.

Nice bracelet, but those children are the real treasure of that family. They are so beautiful!

Thanks for the ping bert. I’m fascinated by ancient gold-working techniques. Our ancestors had amazing knowledge and skills.

It’s a torque, not a “bracelet”.
