Gold treasure worth £3,000 found by metal detectorist

An Anglo-Saxon pendant, also known as a bracteate, was found by a metal detectorist in Bungay.

The bracteate dates between AD 450 to 650 and is decorated on the front with an abstract design.

The find has a plain black and a hanging loop, and is described as in a “fine condition” with little bending and distortion.

Bungay Museum describes the pendant as an “exciting and important find” and hopes to buy it for everyone to see.

But the museum needs to raise £3,000 to be able to keep it.
