A metal detectorist in Wales stumbled upon a stockpile of artifacts that includes Iron Age vessels, Roman coins and a once-in-a-lifetime find: a bowl with a handle crafted to look like an "adorable" ox head.
The finds, which the U.K. government declared "treasure" on April 28, were located in 2019 by Jon Matthews while he was exploring a pasture in Monmouthshire, a county in southeast Wales. After discovering the cache, which he described as "true beauty," Matthews contacted a group of local officials to continue exploring the area, according to Wales Online.
