A Bronze Age gold-worker’s hoard discovered near Urchfont, Wiltshire (WILT-C97E23). Wiltshire Museum hopes to acquire the hoard. The finder stopped digging when he realised what he had found, allowing archaeologists to block life the hoard and bring it to the British Museum for micro-excavation.

Why do I suspect that field is numismatics? We could certainly all do with more kindness.
