An amateur archaeologist has unearthed an immensely rare Bronze Age gold cup in a field in Kent, delighting experts at English Heritage and the British Museum.
The exquisitely embossed cup dates approximately from the time of Stonehenge, 4000 years ago, and is thought to be one of the earliest examples of gold ever found in Britain.
Some press reports have put a value of up to £250,000 on the cup.
