A sewer line breakage in Perth, Scotland, has led to discovery of a copper alloy belt buckle that probably dates back to the 12th century.
When workers were repairing a sewer line near the Kirkgate in Perth, they allowed archaeologists to examine the site while the workers had the ground dug up. They found the belt buckle, shells, pottery, and even a medieval padlock. |
