Carlisle Bronze Age Gold Torcs Unearthed by Two Detectorists

Two metal detectorists near Carlisle uncovered three Bronze Age gold torcs dating to around 1100 BC, weighing a combined 18.27 ounces and valued at about $400,000. The torcs are being assessed by the British Museum to determine treasure status, with a coroner deciding if they qualify as treasure; if declared treasure, they could be bought at market value with proceeds shared among the finders and the landowner, otherwise they may be returned to the finders for auction. The discovery came after hours of digging and has been described as a once-in-a-lifetime find by the detectorists.

Ancient Roman Bathhouse in UK Yields Treasure Trove of Stones.

Archaeologists in Britain discovered 36 engraved semiprecious stones from the third century at the site of an ancient Roman bathhouse beneath the Carlisle Cricket Club. The gems, made of materials like amethyst, carnelian, and jasper, likely fell out of wealthy people’s rings after they entered the baths. The water may have loosened the adhesives used in the rings, causing the stones to fall off and sink to the bottom of the baths. Along with the gems, archaeologists found more than 700 items at the Carlisle site, including pottery, clay figures, and more than 100 hairpins.
