Metal detectorist finds a Victorian locket

A metal detectorist who unearthed a Victorian locket with a woman's photo inside was stunned to hear from her relative after posting images of it.

Adam Guiel shared the images in the hope of dating his find from a field in Shropshire earlier this month.

But he was shocked to get a response from a man in Staffordshire who had a matching photograph and claimed she was his great, great, great-grandmother.

"It's truly surreal... a one in a million thing," Mr Guiel said.

The 37-year-old, who has been metal detecting for about 10 years, said he came across the copper alloy, glass-fronted locket in a field near Oswestry on 2 November.
