Gold Torc

[Pinkfoot]

I can tell you know as it's old enough news.

My mate found this item near Eley.

Said to be one of the oldest and the largest ever found.

I think it is 3,500 years old.

A bit of scrap cable that got caught up in the mower blade ?

Stubby .This is often what people think when they find them covered in muck and folded up.

It's exactly what he thought it may be.

Gold's around £30 a gram, so at nearly 730gms (£21,900), that an expensive bit of scrap cable:001_tt2:

'A shorter one found in Northern Ireland was valued at £150k three years ago'

 

Seems your mate and the landowner have got a few quid each coming their way pinky.

I hope so , he has worked hard all his life and deserves a little help.

Will be split 50/50.

Hardest part is getting the awkward bloody evaluaters to agree and get on with it.

I hate jumped up ***** with "power".
