Lion on the loose in Cornwall
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/02/lion-on-the-loose-in-cornwall-sparks-police-hunt1/ After a long search the escaped Lynx was finally caught, now they're looking for a lion :shock: Maybe our Cornish detectorists should take an armed guard with them until it's caught :hahaha: just a thought ...

Re: Roman villa unearthed 'by chance' in Wiltshire
Great discovery, thank goodness it wasn't trashed by ploughing.

Pity they couldn't agree to share the credit for finding a Roman Horde of coins.
