A 14th century silver brooch found by a metal-detecting enthusiast in a field at Beachamwell, was declared treasure at a Norwich inquest on Thursday.

Description: Silver gilt open framed brooch in the form of a quatrefoil, with D-section frame and pin constriction. The pin is missing. On the flat front an engraved inscription is set within contour lines, the letters separated by closely spaced transversely engraved lines IESVSMARYAVSN.

The brooch is now expected to go before a valuation committee as is normal with all treasure cases.
