A metal detectorist found a gold ingot in a field in Leicestershire which could date back to the Bronze Age. Steve McKnight - who has been scanning for objects in the ground for about 12 years - was taking part in an organised dig on 14 September 2025 in Market Bosworth when he struck gold. The 66-year-old told the Â鶹Éç it was "great" to get the ingot out of the ground - with an inquest on Tuesday hearing the object could date back thousands of years. Steve spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester’s Ady Dayman. Image: H.M Coroner Rutland and North Leicestershire
