And we thought that the 1970s were naughty... turns out that 500-years changed nothing... keys were still being tossed in the bowl.

THE ISLE OF SHEPPEY CROSS
Shelley Couzins, 58, was out with a metal detectoris team on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, in August 2026 and after five hours she had found nothing but “rubbish.” But around lunchtime, her metal detector suddenly started beeping, and hidden 30cm below the surface of the freshly ploughed field was a 10.6g gold cross which is believed to be from the medieval period (estimated value upwards of £20k.) It was immediately turned over to a FLO and then taken to the British Museum.

It has been identified as a medieval gold reliquary cross with a depiction of Jesus’ crucifixion on one side and Mary with the baby Jesus on the other side. The cross has a pin which can be pulled out causing the cross to open, usually with a spiritual object inside. But she didn’t open it through fear of damaging the object. There is a pearl on the bottom, and Shelley expects there would usually have been three pearls.
