Accidental Gold Discovery
A metal detector led British detectorist Nick Perry, 58, to a rare gold pendant estimated to be around 1,000 years old, found on farmland in the village of Ashmansworth, west of London. The piece weighs about 1.6 grams and is made of high-purity gold. It is believed to date from the Anglo-Saxon period and features a design of a human hand that may symbolise the “Hand of God.” An expert also suggested that it may have belonged to someone of high social standing. The pendant was handed over to the relevant authorities for referral to the British Museum and examination. Its finder and the landowner may receive a reward if a museum acquires it. Its value is uncertain, but is estimated at tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling.
