Two metal detectorists recently struck gold \u2014 literally \u2014 after finding three Bronze Age<\/a> gold bracelets worth six figures.<\/p>\n

The detectorists, Alan Daniels, 48, and Andy Crammond, 34, found the bracelets near Carlisle, England in May, Bournemouth News and Picture Service (BNPS) reported.<\/p>\n

Images show the bracelets \u2014 also called torcs \u2014 in remarkable condition.<\/p>\n

METAL DETECTORIST’S ‘FEELING’ LEADS TO MASSIVE ROMAN SETTLEMENT DISCOVERY IN POPULAR TOURIST HOTSPOT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The bracelets date back to roughly 1100 B.C., and have a combined weight of 18.27 ounces, or 1.14 pounds. They’re estimated to be worth roughly $400,000, according to BNPS.<\/p>\n

“Gold doesn’t tarnish at all, and they came out of the ground just the same as when they went in over 3,000 years ago,” Daniels said.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BNPS, Crammond joked about almost having a heart attack when he found the first one just a few inches under freshly ploughed soil.<\/p>\n

He alerted Daniels, who searched the area and soon found a second one.<\/p>\n

Daniels later found a third torc about 20 feet away from the others.<\/p>\n

“Detectorists dream of these things and that is how it still feels, like a dream<\/a>,” said Crammond, per BNPS.<\/p>\n

“I’m waiting for someone to come out of the woodwork and say they aren’t real. It is the find of multiple lifetimes.”<\/p>\n

Daniels told BNPS this is the first time he’s found a valuable item.<\/p>\n

“We have been detecting together now for a few years,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We have never found anything valuable before and always come home disappointed \u2014 until now.”<\/p>\n

The hobbyist initially thought that the excursion might be a waste of time.<\/p>\n

“After about two hours, all we had found were some bits of aluminum cans,” Daniels said.<\/p>\n

“We changed fields. … I went off in one direction and Andy in the other. After a short while, I saw the figure of Andy out of the corner of my eye walking toward me [with the treasure],” added Daniels.<\/p>\n

The torcs are being assessed by the British Museum.<\/p>\n

A coroner will ultimately determine whether the torcs legally qualify as treasure under British law.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If they do, a museum or institution<\/a> could buy them at market value, with the proceeds shared among Crammond, Daniels and the landowner.<\/p>\n

If no buyer comes forward, the torcs could be returned to the finders to sell at auction.<\/p>\n

Metal detecting has turned up some striking ancient finds<\/a> in recent months.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, a metal detectorist discovered a remarkably preserved 2,700-year-old bronze sword<\/a> standing upright in the ground in northern Poland.<\/p>\n

In Australia earlier this year, a metal detectorist who was exploring a former Gold Rush-era campsite discovered an unusual coin at an abandoned sports field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
