A man surveying a forest for his orienteering club in western Sweden stumbled on a trove of Bronze Age treasure reckoned to be some 2,500 years old.
It includes about 50 items, such as necklaces, bracelets and clothing pins.
The cartographer, Thomas Karlsson, said I first thought it might be a lamp, but when I looked closer I saw that it was old jewellery .
Swedish archaeologists say it is very rare to find such a hoard in a forest.
Ancient tribes usually left such offerings in rivers or wetlands.
