Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has achieved quite a few firsts -- and he's just racked up another one.
- He was the first member of the Stones to release a solo album.
- Arguably the first rock star to open and maintain, to this day, a successful restaurant -- Sticky Fingers in London, which opened in 1989.
- The first member of the Stones to get divorced.
- The first member of the Stones to write his autobiography.
- The first rock star with his own line of metal detectors.
And it's the metal detector that has led to this latest first -- the first rock star to have one of his archaeological finds put on display in a museum. A Roman lock and a 17th century seal he found on the grounds of his manor house in Suffolk, England can be seen at the Moyse Hall Museum in Bury St. Edmunds as part of its Lost Property exhibition through October 1st.
Wyman first discovered metal detecting shortly after leaving the Stones in 1993.
