The 2,500-year-old collared burial pot as it was found in a pit on the site of a road being built at Lynn. The find is exciting archaeologists as it is rare to find one intact

Interesting, but I like the gold hordes better. ;^)

Seriously, it is always amazing to me to see the craftmanship in ancient gold jewelry. I want to know what else these ancient ancestors of ours could make.

We all think we’re so smart, but there are probably not 1 in a million people who could craft jewelry and other decorations like some of these finds you have posted here. Remember the gold and lapis, or saphire, ring you posted a few days ago? 3000+ years old and prettier than anything in my local jewelry store.

Still waiting for the discovery of King John’s lost treasure in the Wash not too far from Kings Lynn.

"OK, so how about $300?"
