A metal detectorist in Switzerland has unearthed a bounty of Bronze Age jewelry alongside fossilized animal remains in a farmer's freshly plowed carrot field.
The finds included a necklace made up of 14 spiked bronze discs, two spiral finger rings and more than 100 tiny amber beads roughly the size of pinheads, which Zahn carefully plucked from the soil using tweezers. Other items strewn about the field, likely due to plowing, included a bronze arrowhead, lumps of polished ore, an ammonite , a shark's tooth, a perforated bear's tooth and a rock crystal.
