SHREWSBURY MUSEUM REVEALS RARE IRON AGE SPOONS
There are only 23 more of them in the world and it's been 80 years since anybody found some before these ones turned up.

What are these rare artefacts? They are mysterious bronze spoons, always found in pairs, dating from 800 BC – 100 AD, and Shrewsbury Museum is the proud owner of the most recently discovered set.


Huh. Never heard of things like these. They surmise they may have been used for divination, dripping liquid from one to the other.
