An Iron Age war trumpet that's the first of its kind to have been found in England is set to fetch £3,000 at auction next month. The boar-headed wind instrument, known as a Carnyx, was once used to strike fear into soldiers in bloody battles almost 2,000 years ago. Picture: SWNS

“Metal detectorist Ivan Bailey, 60, found the object lodged in a lump of clay while scanning a field in Bardwell in 2016.”
