An “utterly unique” hoard of hundreds of Bronze Age items discovered by a metal detectorist in the Scottish Borders has been saved for the nation after it was acquired by the national museum.
The Peebles Hoard, which dates from 1000-800 BCE and was found by metal detectorist Mariusz Stepien in 2020, comprises more than 500 bronze and organic pieces that had lain undisturbed for more than 3,000 years.
