In the November 2006 issue of National Geographic magazine, in the front sections under Archaeology (the pages aren't numbered there), is a great 16th-century silver huntsman's whistle with royal insignia. It was found by a metal detecting party on the Isle of Wight last year. You can read the full story online from the Telegraph, but I didn't find a photo online; for that you'll need to look up the National Geographic. Worth a trip to the library or news-stand....

I missed this when you first posted it, but the article is still there. Now I'm going to have to go find that picture. Thank you, what a great story! It reminds me of a book by Roald Dahl, the true story of a cache of ancient Roman silver discovered in England in the 1940s, I think, The Mildenhall Treasure. Do you know it? IP: Logged |
