Norfolk detectorists Pat Buckley and Andy Carter uncover a pair of mysterious Iron Age metal objects unlike anything they have found before. After experts investigate the discovery, the artifacts are identified as rare Iron Age horse harness "prickers", used to control powerful chariot horses over 2,000 years ago. The find offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Britain's ancient warrior elite and raises the possibility of connections to the Iceni kingdom of Boudica. Alongside the discovery, Andy's incredibly rare Edward III gold "leopard" coin reveals another remarkable chapter of British history.
