I agree with the idea of significance rather than value.  Something so simple speaks volumes.

I've always said I rather find things like that than coins. Though I must admit a few coins thrown into the finds bag wouldn't go amiss.

Your right Val ,even though I have found nice coins and a few gold objects...Nothing beats a rare or unique quality object in copper or bronze.
Your right as well dryland ,it is a quality object...Recently Dan who found the pendant..has a a lovelt tinned Viking bell of the same site..

Very nice.

You're correct about significance - I found a Viking lead weight down here - no really monetary value, but certainly significant in terms of what it is.
