The bracelet has been declared treasure and claimed by Northampton Museum & Art Gallery
A metal detectorist from Northampton has found a very rare Roman silver bracelet on land at Courteenhall. Phil Craddock, who has been a metal detectorist for over 30 years, unearthed the bracelet in a few inches of soil in a field on the Estate.
Phil, 52, a train driver for London Northwestern Railway, said: “I’ve found numerous items over the years that give a fantastic overview of Courteenhall Estate’s historic past from the early Celtic and Roman periods through to the present day. Finding the silver bracelet was a special moment. “It’s vital to get permission and the team at Courteenhall Estate have been very generous allowing me and my small group of metal detectorists onto the Estate. There are records showing a Roman site on the land, but we have discovered two more, one which we think might have been a marketplace trading water for small coins and another we believe was a substantial settlement.
Phil says metal detecting has soared in popularity in recent years, helped by television programmes such as the BBC’s Detectorists starring Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones. He said: “I fell in love with it as a hobby 30 years ago after seeing a TV programme about it. It really fires up your imagination as you never know what you’re going to find.
