'Charlie Clarke had been metal detecting for just 6 months when he stumbled across what he calls his “once in a lifetime – no, once in 30 lifetimes” find.'

'What the Birmingham cafe owner had discovered was a huge and quite spectacular early Tudor pendant and chain, made in gold and enamel bearing the initials and symbols of Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon.'

'Nothing remotely similar survives from the period.'
