Kevin Duckett, 49, was hunting for treasure with a metal detector in a field in Northamptonshire, England, when he accidentally unearthed a 6cm-tall gold figurine, which was appraised and found to be a gold figurine most likely decorated with Henry VIII’s crown, which had been lost for 400 years. The little gold man is also currently placed in the British Museum research, if confirmed as the real thing, Kevin must sell it to the museum.
According to “The Sun” report, Kevin’s leisure hobby is treasure hunting, when he took a metal detector in the field near the big tree detection, looking for 20 minutes, the detector suddenly issued a signal, Kevin originally thought it was just a flattened aluminum plate or milk cans on the metal lid, but after careful removal of the end, only to find a 2.5 inches high (6.3 cm), 1 inch wide (2.5 cm) He said, “I wiped the soil off the statue and sat down in amazement as adrenaline began to surge and excitement poured out of my body.
Kevin found the word “SH” on the bottom of the figurine, and after studying it, he found that it might be the decoration on the crown of King Henry VIII. As Henry VIII changed the decoration on his crown several times during his 36-year reign, he changed the decoration of the statue of Christ to three British kings, namely St. Edmund, Edward the Confessor and Henry VI, and the figurine in his hand was officially the statue of Henry VI.
Kevin said he had seen copies on YouTube, and even went to the museum to investigate, and found that the little gold man and the official copies look very similar, and now Kevin has given the little gold man to the British Museum to investigate, if it is the real thing, the price will be up to 2 million pounds, Kevin will also have to sell to the museum, the Royal Palace chief curator Lucy (Lucy Worsley) said, in Underground sleep for hundreds of years of small gold man can be found again is good news, just imagine its true history is very fascinating.
