Metal detecting

The hawk identity tag was made for Robert Knollys, grandson of Mary Boleyn, research reveals.

The cache of silver denarii were disturbed by a plough and scattered across a field, says expert.

The two blobs of high-purity gold were found by metal detectorists and have been valued at £3,000.

A ring found in a 17th Century box was likely stored for safety but ended up lost, an expert says.

The discovery is "a drum roll of Roman coins from the late republic through to the early empire".

He picked up the hobby only two months earlier and says he was in shock when he found it.

The design is a mash-up of Christian and pagan designs from the same era as the Sutton Hoo ship.

A 1,000-year-old gold arm ring found in a Manx field by a metal detectorist is goes on display.
