A man who showed off a gold belt buckle he picked up at auction stunned Antiques Roadshow experts with its size. But the guest was himself shocked as the buckle received a very impressive five-figure valuation on the US-version of the show.
When asked where he picked it up, the man said: "I got it at an auction two or three years ago. It's all Alaska gold and mammoth ivory, there are also some diamonds."
