The most important treasure trove found in Britain for decades went on display in London on Tuesday, the same day that another discovery valued at a million pounds ($1.6 million) was reported found in Scotland. Four Iron Age gold neckbands were discovered in a Scottish field, just as the British Museum saw long lines form to view pieces of gold and silver from last July's headlining discovery. "Like all great treasure stories, it's already got its heroes, its myths, its battles," Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, told reporters.
