A metal-detecting enthusiast who unearthed one of Britain's most significant Iron Age hoards is celebrating another valuable find.
David Booth discovered the 800-year-old medieval seal in a Stirlingshire field.
The well-preserved silver antique, decorated with a small stone carving, or "intaglio", from Roman times, could be worth several thousand pounds.
Mr Booth made the find less than a year after discovering four 2000-year-old gold neckbands or "torcs".You are not allowed to view links.

He found the torcs last September on his first outing with a metal detector. He's a pretty good finder, but, as he says in the article, he does his research. That helps luck a lot
