A man struck gold after digging up his wife's flower bed - as he found a Roman ring dating back thousands of years.
Mike Burke, 54, a metal detectorist, had been walking past a potential treasure trove but he was never allowed to dig it up as his wife, Julie, had forbidden him.
But one day she decided to replant the garden so gave Mike special permission to scour through the area for gold - and he seized the opportunity, as Cornwall Live reports.
