A Scottish game warden who bought a metal detector for a new hobby discovered a £1m hoard of Iron Age jewellery - on his first outing.

Five days after taking delivery of the £240 metal detector and seven steps into his first treasure hunt, David Booth unearthed four 2,300-year-old torcs made of pure gold.

Mr Booth, 35, a warden at Blair Drummond Safari Park in Stirlingshire, said: "I saw a glimpse of one of them, then uncovered the rest of the hoard.

"They were in a wee group. Half me was saying, 'that does look important', but I was thinking I couldn't be that lucky on my first go.

After taking delivery of his detector, Mr Booth practised for an hour in his kitchen and garden before going out into a local field with the landowner's permission.

"I parked up and got the metal detector out," he recalled. "There was an area of flat ground behind the car, and I thought, I'll just scan this first, before I head out into the field. Literally about seven steps behind where I had parked, I found them."

Mr Booth stands to earn a reward equivalent to the market value of his record find - he says £1m "would be lovely" but he'd settle for paying off his Ford Focus.

Well , since he'll settle for paying off his Ford FucUS , tell him to send me the 1M pounds , and I'll keep him in cars for life !

That right there , this limey 'dood' , is the very quntessential definition of 'dumb luck' .

Scottish game warden...Also known as a 'ghillie' , he's charged with keeping the kings' stags out of range of the starving commoners...Real hero , that one is...
