Think it's 1160- 1216 but may be Innocent Iv , if that's the case it's about the 1250's

Nice find,I have never managed one but a very good friend of mine found four in one field in the Newbury area and won the find of the year competition in the Searcher mag. a few years ago.
The only other one I have seen was found by a young Cardiff Scan club member at a search held at Sulhampsted also near Newbury many years ago.!!

Found the seal on the site last year , so it is an assumption but would guess the monk there asked the pope for something?

Cracking find - been on my wish list for a long time. An item from the Vatican - they don't get much rarer for lead finds!
