    Impressive, but to me the stunning Roman cavalry parade helmet found at Crosby Garrett in Cumbria last May by a metal detectorist was even more remarkable. As it was composed of copper it was not declared treasure trove and went up for private auction. Sadly in October a telephone bidder, possibly in the US, bought it for £2m thus depriving Cumbria of a source of tourist income and removing one of the most remarkable Roman artifacts ever found in Britain from the country. Imagine how we would have felt if it had been found in Dover? Imagine if our Bronze Age Boat was suddenly packed off and shipped across the Atlantic!
