A piece of metal uncovered in a field in Cheshire has been revealed as an ancient Roman bracelet.
Amateur archaeologist James Balme, from Glazebrook, near Warrington, uncovered the artefact in a field in the nearby village of Warburton.
The bracelet, which is in the shape of a serpent, was declared as treasure trove by Stockport Coroner John Pollard at an inquest on Thursday.
It means the 2,000-year-old bracelet now belongs to the Crown.
