A metal detectorist thought he'd struck gold when he found a hoard hidden in a ditch - but it turned out to be a stash of adult magazines. Dean Pugh, 54, had been hoping to find an ancient collection of artefacts but he accidentally stumbled across something else entirely.
He and his son Owen, 26, were out with their detector kit on local farmland when they made the hair-raising discovery near Bromsgrove, Worcs. The retro collection was unearthed after Dean caught a flash of colour while trawling for relics. He initially hoped he'd spotted something historic or interesting - only to be confronted with the saucy mags.
