A unique find of 33 prehistoric axes in a ceramic pot discovered in a field at Mylor have gone on public display at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro.
Known as the Mylor Hoard after the riverside village near which the perfectly preserved axes were found, the find is officially considered to be the most significant of its kind in the county. The axes, which date back to the Bronze Age, lay buried in their pot for nearly 3,000 years until two metal detectorists, Harry Manson and Paul Burgess, happened to come upon them. Immediately recognising their historical value, they contacted the Royal Cornwall Museum.
