Scottish Amateur 'Stunned' After £1m Find

An Iron Age treasure hoard unearthed by a metal-detecting amateur has been unveiled.

The four gold Iron Age neck ornaments, or torcs, date from between the 1st and 3rd Century BC and are said to be worth an estimated £1m.

They were discovered in September by "first-time" metal-detector enthusiast David Booth in a field in Stirlingshire, Scotland.

The find is the most important hoard of Iron Age gold in Scotland to date.
