Bronze Age Trove Found in Garden
A hoard of Bronze Age artefacts which had been discovered in a garden has been declared treasure trove.
The items which include spears, sword parts and axe heads were discovered in Shane Targett’s garden in Eaton, near Norwich, last April.
The 149 artefacts, which date back to 800BC, are believed to be from a local foundry and are worth about £10,000.
On Wednesday, Coroner Bill Armstrong described the artefacts as a “significant and substantial find”.
The Norwich coroner declared the hoard a treasure trove because it was money or coins, gold, silver, or bullion, which was hidden or concealed and has been found by accident.
