Unique crystal vessel from the Galloway Hoard detector on display for the first time

2,000 years ago, it probably formed the head of the iconic Corinthian column. For many centuries it was preserved by the Romans as a valuable relic. In the Anglo-Saxon period, a hitherto unknown bishop had the head turned into a goblet and decorated with gold. 1,100 years ago, it was placed in the ground along with hundreds of gold and silver objects from all over the then known world. In 2014, it was discovered in Britain's largest Viking hoard by Derek McLennan with the help of a metal detector.

Finally, clarity: Orion, Pleiades and other tips for holiday astrophotography with smart telescopes

Without claiming any fortune telling skills, we know that many of you found a smart telescope under the tree this year😀. So the following tips might come in handy. From Thursday 25th to Saturday 27th December we should have clear skies over our area - ideal conditions for astro photography. A full astronomical night is already setting in around 6pm. If all goes well, we will be able to observe and photograph deep-sky objects until at least 10 pm, when fog may form in some areas.

PF 2026 from LP and some other little things

Gold and silver Celtic coins found with a detector in Switzerland

Two Celtic gold coins were found near the Swiss village of Arisdorf on the Bärenfels hill. They date from the 3rd century BC and are the oldest coins in what is now Switzerland. Their discovery was preceded by the two-year-old discovery of a hoard of silver coins dating back to the 1st century BC.

A strange Anglo-Saxon gold hoard may have been related to a ritual execution

Two detectorists have discovered a depot of luxury Anglo-Saxon jewellery from the 7th century in Lincolnshire, England. The set consists of four different gold pendants and a fragment of a richly decorated brooch with garnets. According to archaeologists, it is neither a commonly stored treasure nor standard grave goods - circumstances suggest a possible connection to a ritual "killing".
