David Booth, 35, bought the £240 detector online because he thought it “might be fun” to look for treasure and struck gold just five days after it was delivered.

The safari park warden parked his car by field in Stirlingshire and made the find after taking just a few paces.

Three of the necklaces or “torcs” are in almost perfect condition and one, which shows signs of Mediterranean craftsmanship, is of a type never seen before in Britain.

Mr Booth said he had not studied archaeology but knew there were some ancient sites in the area and was given permission by a local landowner to try out his new detector.

Some quick online research suggested to him that he may have found important items from the 1st to 3rd centuries BC – 200 years before the Romans arrived in Britain.

Maybe not, but that seems to be how these things develop.
