Detectorists for the win!

In England, people had more time to putter around the garden in the last couple years, and guess what? They uncovered old stuff. For example, Bob Greenaway from Oswestry in Shropshire found the Bulla sun pendant. “The retired engineer found the intricate piece while metal detecting in the Marches, unearthing one of the most significant pieces of metalwork ever discovered in Britain – around 3,000 years old.”

Loads and loads of stuff–one might even say hoards–have been found over the last few years.

But wait, there’s more. Two shipwrecks were uncovered off the coast of Israel and many coins, figurines, and other antiquities were recovered, including a gemstone with an image of the Good Shepherd on it.
