@aylalmighty1 @elizajourney When I was a child, our cat hated my guts, but whenever I was frightened or crying he would circle me and purr and rub his face on me like he was trying to comfort me 😭 that, or he enjoyed my suffering idk I’ll go with comfort though lol

Bargain Hunt bragging about the price of a gold Medieval brooch found by a man with a metal detector, but not a word about this being Treasure, the Treasure Act, or how to report/record your finds 🥲

A quick snap of this Medieval arrowhead before it goes back into its air-tight bed of silica gel 💘 Iron arrowheads are quite unusual and this is the first one I’ve ever handled. Found by a member of the public whilst gardening near Goldcliff! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
