Ancient artefacts unearthed in Tisbury (From Salisbury Journal)
A British hobbyist with a metal detector came upon an ancient bronze spearhead and did NOT do what most people do (dig it up, along with the other 100 objects near it, put them in a shoebox and take them to the local antique dealer to see if they're worth anything); no, he left the site undisturbed and CALLED THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS, so that the objects could be excavated properly. Give this man a cookie! The site contains bronze objects from the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, which will be taken to the British Museum to be studied. The location of the site is being kept secret, so less scrupulous people will stay away.
