Archaeologists from the Museum in Roudnice nad Labem have announced a rare discovery. While surveying a site in the small town of Budyně nad Ohří they came across a number of bronze artefacts, including pieces of jewellery, dating back over 3500 years.

The discovery was made about a year ago during a routine research of a field near the town of Budyně nad Ohří, some 40 kilometres north-west of Prague. Using a metal detector, an archaeologist came upon a collection of metal objects hidden under ground.
