A MASSIVE slice of good fortune has led to a Pevensey man being united with a late relative's long-lost World War One service medal.

It began when a treasure hunter using a metal detector found the British War Medal beneath the ground in a field in the parish.

The finder sold it to a Rye jeweller for 10 and the jeweller contacted antiques dealer Ken Nunn to see if he was interested in it.
