Farmer finds prehistoric gold artefacts in Donegal
A farmer from County Donegal has discovered gold artefacts believed to be thousands of years old.
Norman Witherow uncovered the gold objects on Saturday when he was digging a drain in a field near Convoy.
The artefacts remained in his kitchen and car boot until Tuesday when his friend, who is a jeweller, told him that it needed to be reported.
Initial observations by staff from the National Museum of Ireland date the gold from the bronze age or earlier.
