A 10-year-old metal detectorist has found a rare monastic seal while searching a field.
George Henderson was with his father, Paul, when he dug up the 800-year-old copper artefact in Suffolk.
The seal's Latin inscription shows it came from the Butley Priory and was used to mark official documents.
Speaking about the seal - which could be worth thousands - George, from Nottinghamshire, said: "I'm happy I discovered it."
The pair were taking part in a charity dig when - 10 minutes after starting - George uncovered the find.
Wow, that is quite an amazing find, especially for a 10-year-old boy... and it seems pretty well-preserved too!
It's expected to go for between £4,000 and £6,000 at auction - so, I hope he and his dad enjoy the money
