He was found by Bob Jemmett, a detectorist for 30 years, during an organised rally in South Cambridgeshire almost six years ago.

Bob recalls the find “It was on the 12th of September 2018 that I was metal detecting in a ploughed field at Little Chishill, near Royston in South Cambridgeshire on an organised rally. The weather was appalling with the rain lashing down, but I persevered and received a lovely signal from my Minelab 3030 detector.”

He continued: “Digging down four inches, I uncovered a small bronze nude male figure which featured a prominent erection similar to the Cerne Abbas Giant that is carved into a hill in Dorset. The figure was identified as a Celtic fertility figure and published on the Portable Antiquities website and subsequently used as a logo by the rally organisers in their promotions. As a result, detectorists from all over Europe at Rallies would ask me if they could see ‘Nobby’ who I always keep in my pocket as a constant companion!“

Nigel Mills, Artefact and Coin expert at Noonans, explained: “This unique figure dates from the 1st century BC, he has an oversized bald head with deep sockets for eyes, wedges for arms and short legs. There is a loop behind for suspension.”

After a recent local house burglary, Bob decided it is time to let ‘Nobby’ go and send him to auction .He fetched twice the pre-sale estimate and Bob intends to spend his money on home improvements.

The ring was found by detectorist, Tom Clark. After the auction, Tom said “I didn’t watch the sale as I was out metal-detecting, I only stopped as it began to rain! I am very pleased with the result, which is fantastic. I would like to put the money in my bank account, but I am sure that my wife will have ideas of how to spend it!“

Finding the ring

In May last year, Tom went out detecting with his brand new Minelab Manticore in a filed near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. He had a good start, finding a Roman bronze coin and a Georgian gilded brooch.

About three metres away he got another signal and, on digging down 10 inches, unearthed what appeared to be a Medieval gold seal ring. Reading the name around the edge he saw the name ‘Grenvil’ and immediately recognised it as one of the ancestral surnames of the nearby manor house.

Tom said “I have been detecting since the age of 30, and over the years I have been lucky enough to find a Bronze Age gold armlet, a Roman lead coffin and many other treasures which are now in museums“

George Grenville

Nigel Mills, Artefact and Coin expert at Noonans, explains “The ring dates from the 18th century and originally belonged to George Grenville who was Prime Minister from 16 April 1763 to 10 July 1765.”

Stamp Act

Nigel continues “He tried to reduce Britain’s growing debt by raising revenue in the American colonies with the introduction of the Sugar Act, the Currency Act, and the Stamp Act. These new laws, especially the Stamp Act, were strongly objected to by the colonists and stirred up protests, which resulted in George III dismissing Grenville. The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766, but concerns over taxation ultimately led to the American Revolutionary War of 1775-83.“

The ring

The arms on the bezel of the ring are those of Grenville, of Wotton Underwood and of Stowe in the county of Buckinghamshire.

This is a shield quartered with a central cross bearing five roundels, a helmet placed above the shield has a crest of a sheaf of corn. An inscription around reads “Sigillum Georg de grenvil’”

This seal ring appears to have been handed down to his second son, also named George, as the find spot is close to the son’s residence near Aylesbury.

The ring presumably became a family heirloom passing from father to son and remained hidden in the ground until now.

The auctioneer described it as “a truly exciting discovery!“

The Find

Chris and Lisa drove to a detecting rally in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire on Sunday, 16 September 2018. Chris spent the morning detecting while she sat in the back of their truck and watched. Chris tells the story:

“That morning was rubbish to be honest and all I found was stereotypical cans and bottle tops.

‘I wanted to pack it in at lunch but she actually told me to keep going. She said “we haven’t driven all the way here from Bristol for you to come back with nothing. An hour later, I was detecting near a path where there were lots of cans so I don’t think anyone else had gone to the area. I got a signal and dug down 2 inches and there was this glint of gold. You get used to a sense of disappointment as a detectorist but this time when I picked up the ring I could see it was special. I cradled it in my hands and ran back 50 yards to my wife in the truck. I said look what I found and she said ‘wow, that’s nice’.“

The Ring

The ring was recorded at the PAS as GLO-0BFB91 went through the Treasure process and was disclaimed.

The curious feature of the ring is the inscription. For one thing, it is not clear which way up it should be read. If you assume that the “V”s are unbarred “A”s then the inscription reads +NI ONAN NRIO ONIC / NIAI AINO ANIOI NAN.

As can be seen, all these letters can be read the other way up. The only guides are the Cross Potent, which presumably marks the beginning, and the orientation of the C at the end of the top line.

Even then it is not clear whether it has a romantic association or has magical significance.

A Timeline spokesman said “Many late medieval rings and brooches bear similarly meaningless inscriptions, perhaps due to the illiteracy of the engraver who nevertheless was aware that customers required an inscription, so provided one. Alternatively, since the text is composed from repeated sequences based on an open syllabic structure, the words may be intended as a chant or magical charm.’

Vervel of Charles I

Estimate: £2,000 – £3,000

Hammer: £7000

A silver vervel or hawking ring with the Royal coat of arms on the bezel and engraved to the exterior in italics “King Charles”.

It was found by detectorist Roy Davis on a Saturday morning in the late 1980s. He located it with his Compass 77B on a spoil heap from the river Thames near Billingsgate. The find site is not far from the Tower of London and the auctioneer suggests that it is likely that Charles I kept a number of birds of prey there.

As Roy explained before the sale: “The tiny ring was heavily encrusted when found and I thought nothing of it, so I put it aside. Going through some old finds recently I decided to clean the ring and saw it was inscribed with a royal coat of arms and the legend Charles King.”

He plans to share the proceeds of the sale between his children. “I am very pleased; it was an excellent result, and I was amazed how much international interest it attracted. Before the sale, I had calls about it from all over the world!“

Nigel Mills, Artefact and Coin expert at Noonans added “This was a very exciting find with only one other known example in the British Museum, as well as other vervels that belonged to Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James I. Even though it was so small the Royal connection gave it historical significance and justified it selling for more than double the estimate.”

Braintree Hoard

Finding the hoard

The hoard was found by two detectorists who had been searching together for 20 years but had only found copper coins and crotal bells previously on the field near Braintree, Essex.

They were out detecting in late September 2019 when they got a signal from the Minelab CTX 3030. Digging down four inches revealed a silver penny. Half a dozen more turned up in a 30-metre radius and that evening they realised they were rare pennies of Harold II. Over the next few days around 70 more were found by slow and methodical use of the detectors. This was repeated in 2020 with another 70 coins uncovered.

The hoard

The hoard comprised 144 coins in total from the last two Anglo-Saxon kings of England – Edward the Confessor and Harold II Godwinsson. The absence of coins of William I suggest the coins were buried before 1066. It is clearly a possibility that their retrieval was prevented by the events at Hastings in that year.

An exceptional feature of the hoard is that it contained two Byzantine coins.

The find was recorded at the PAS as ESS-1CFF0B and went through the Treasure process.  Colchester Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge decided to buy 16 coins between them from the hoard, including the two 11th century Byzantine coins. The remainder were disclaimed.

Hastings penny of Harold II

Mint: Hastings

Estimate: £5,000 – £6,000

Hammer: £24000

A mint was established in Hastings in the 10th century and produced a steady production through to the Anarchy of the mid 12th century. However, output was significantly reduced during the reign of Harold II; as illustrated by only three of the 1,238 coins of the Chew Valley hoard were minted in Hastings. Therefore, it is an extremely rare mint in this type and this is only the second specimen to appear at public auction in the last 40 years.

Reverse reads DVNNING ON HAE giving the moneyer as Dunning.

Other mints

The hoard contained coins from a large number of different mints. The best example of each is shown below. Each mint’s dies were different with some containing specific extra details, such as the Sudbury mint coin with a dash from the “X” to the sceptre and a pellet in the field on the obverse. Some suggest that these are an early form of privy marks rather than just a natural variation in the dies.

Before the auction, Hansons said ” It’s taken months to sort through and catalogue hundreds of items packed in numerous boxes.  The collection is so vast it is being offered in a single-owner sale.“

“His passions in life were nature, wildlife and metal detecting. Apparently, he loved anything ancient. He had a particular interest in the Saxon era and medieval seals. He enjoyed researching the objects he uncovered and developed a deep historical knowledge.

The seal must have been one of his most prized possessions.”

Seal of William Beaufoe, Bishop of Thetford

The seal shows a bull being attacked by a lion and bears the inscription WILLEMI DE MARTHAM (William of Martham). Martham is a village near the coast on the Norfolk Broads and once sat on an island, the Isle of Flegg.

There was a Bishop of Thetford called William Beaufoe. Both Martham, in Norfolk and Gunton, in Suffolk, were granted to Beaufoe by William the Conqueror. He was the son of Robert Sire de Belfou who fought for William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. When Beaufoe died in about 1091 he left Martham, with many other manors, to his priory at Thetford.

The auctioneer says “The connections to Norfolk run deep. The surname Beaufoe originates from the county. William de Beaufou, a Norman Baron, Bishop of Thetford and Chancellor to the Conqueror was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. It’s a scarce historical treasure and we owe its discovery to one man’s historical passion“

Colkirk Hoard

The Colkirk Hoard was found near Colkirk in Norfolk by an anonymous detectorist between 2020 and 2022. It comprised 432 Roman silver coins, mostly siliquae from Constantius II (323-361) to Honorius (393-423). It was recorded at the PAS as NMS-AC7F17

The auctioneer tells the detectorist’s story of the find “Following several hours of searching which produced little more than a medieval cut halfpenny and a few buttons, he decided to call it a day. Starting back to his car he found, by chance, a single silver Siliqua. Spurred on by this success, he concentrated his searching to the immediate vicinity of the initial find; almost at once more coins started coming up.

By the end of that day some 40 siliquae had been recovered, all single finds distributed over an area of some twenty square metres. The next day a similar number was found. Over the next two years, Mr Finder returned time and time again, working around pandemic ‘lockdowns’, to increase the total number of finnds to nearly 300“

In late 2021 an excavation of the find site produced a further 132 coins.

73 coins are being sold in this auction.

Norwich penny of Harold II

Mint: Norwich

Estimate: £4,000 – £5,000

This penny of Harold was found on 9 September 2023 near Attleborough, Norfolk and recorded at the EMC 2023.0366 as The legend on the reverse reads MANNA ON NOR, giving the moneyer as Man and the mint as Norwich.

The auctioneers provide some background as to how this coin has a more “fluid style” portrait than others of Harold’s coinage. In 1066, Harold enacted a mass recoinage where most of the currency was withdrawn and re-struck. Although, provincial mints were used, most of the dies, particularly in the south of England, were produced at a single centre, probably London. This provided consistency and control. Any illicit behaviour in minting coins was dealt with severely.

Therefore, Man the moneyer must have had a good reason to use a local “unofficial” die. One idea comes from the observation that these irregular coins only appear in hoards buried after the Norman conquest leading to the suggestion of that they “represent a posthumous issue in the name of Harold“.
