A metal detectorist has discovered a rare hoard of Bronze Age artefacts, which experts describe as “nationally significant”, in the Scottish Borders.
Mariusz Stepien was searching a field near Peebles with friends when he found a bronze object buried half a metre (1ft 8in) underground.
Archaeologists spent 22 days investigating, building a shelter to protect the find from the elements. Mr Stepien and his friends camped out there.
They uncovered a complete horse harness, preserved by the soil, and a sword dated to 1,000 to 900 BC.
The Bronze Age in Britain ran from about 2,000BC to about 650BC.

Wow - that was most certainly one of the most significant finds by a detectorist in Scotland
