Metal detectorist unearths 2,000-year-old hoard in Yorkshire, challenging views on Iron Age Britain.

A metal detectorist uncovered the Melsonby Hoard near North Yorkshire, revealing over 800 Iron Age artifacts, including wagon parts, spears, and pony harnesses. This significant find, dating back around 2,000 years, challenges the notion that northern Britain was culturally isolated and could reevaluate our understanding of Iron Age wealth and technology. The Yorkshire Museum is fundraising to secure the hoard, with items set to be displayed starting March 25th.
