LONDON: Have you ever heard that metal detector found worth Billion Dollar treasure, if not we have something which will surprise you.
That’s right the largest treasure ever found in Britain by a metal detector enthusiast, it was revealed today.
The discovery was found on Church of Scotland land after the detectorist painstakingly searched the unidentified area in Dumfries and Galloway for more than a year.
Treasure consists of more than a hundred artefacts, many of which are historically unique, is now under the care of the Treasure Trove Unit and is regarded as being of significant international importance.
Finder Derek McLennan, was left speechless when he made the discovery in early September. Within the find is an early Christian solid silver cross, thought to date from the Ninth or Tenth centuries.
The treasure includes possibly the largest silver pot from the Carolingian dynasty discovered and could be up to 1,200-years-old.
The pot appears to have been at least a hundred years old when it was first buried in the mid-Ninth or Tenth centuries.
Mr McLennan is no stranger to finding treasure, having been part of a group which discovered more than 300 medieval silver coins shortly before Christmas last year.
