A metal detector enthusiast has stumbled upon a rare 2,000-year-old brooch, initially mistaking the artefact for "a kid's toy." Martin Turner discovered the ancient artefact in fields near his home in Puddletown, Dorset. After cleaning it, he noticed signs of "bronze disease," indicating its significant age. He submitted the find to his local finds liaison officer, who verified its historical value and now intends to officially document it.
If the brooch is not claimed, it will be returned to Turner, who has said he may consider donating it to a local museum. A brooch that is around 2,000 years old would date back to roughly the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. This places it in the late Iron Age, just before or during the early Roman period, when the Roman Empire began its conquest of Britain.
The man and his son took metal detecting as a hobby three years ago when they moved down the area, finding hundreds of objects. Mr Williams uses a metal detector he bought secondhand for around £600.
He told BBC: "Every field I go in I find stuff. I must have 13 Chinese tubs full of antiquities."
Mr Turner said one of their greatest finds was 14 Bronze Age heads, describing them as "unreal" and donating them to the British Museum in London.
In 2023, he told BBC: "People spend all their lives trying to get one of these on their bucket list and he's been part of finding 14 of them. The feeling of holding them for the first time in 4,500 years - you're the only person to hold these in that amount of time. That's the excitement of it."
Under the Treasure Act 1996, an object in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is generally considered treasure if it is at least 300 years old. By law, items that could be treasure must be reported to the local finds liaison officer.
For non-coin items, it must also contain at least 10% precious metal, such as gold or silver, by weight. Changes introduced in 2023 expanded the definition to include objects over 200 years old that are considered to have outstanding historical, archaeological, or cultural significance. If an item is officially declared treasure and acquired by a museum, the finder is entitled to a financial reward as a finder's fee.
