13th Century Silver Cross Found In Field

[Viggen]

Historians at the British Museum have been studying a 13th century crucifix unearthed in a Northamptonshire field by treasure hunter Steve Kane. The solid silver cross was found by Mr Kane while he was using a metal detector in the field at a farm near Grendon. The father-of-two had been scouring the land at Grendon House Farm, which is owned by Jim Brodie in the village's Main Road, for more than two hours when he found the crucifix, which dates back to the 1200s, two inches under the surface.
