A man in Birmingham, England, discovered a 500-year-old pendant while metal detecting on a friend's property. Decorated with symbols tied to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, the pendant has been authenticated, but why it was made and how it got buried is unknown. The eventual sale of the pendant could be life-changing for the finder and his friend, and metal detecting is becoming more popular in the UK. Enthusiasts must know the law and receive permission from landowners before searching.
