'I've found a sword – and there's a hand on the end of it'

Some metal detectorists dream of making the find that changes history and 90-year-old Dave Derby has done just that – twice.

His first major discovery was of a grand Roman villa estate near Northampton, and that was followed by an Anglo-Saxon cemetery.

Archaeologist Stephen Young says Mr Derby "embodies the best of what it means to be a metal detectorist and an archaeological enthusiast".
