June 11th, metal detector enthusiast Stan Cooper was exploring a
spot by a stream in a farmer’s field near Sandbach, Cheshire
when his machine signaled. He dug four or five inches down and
discovered a small object that was so encrusted with dirt he

was made of a precious metal. After ten minutes in an ultrasonic
cleaner, the artifact revealed itself to be a small, exquisitely
detailed gold brooch. Read the original post. Learn more on this
