A GROUP of 58 items from a ploughed-out Anglo-Saxon cemetery were among the finds unearthed by Isle of Wight metal-detecting enthusiasts.
The majority of the artefacts were declared treasure by Island coroner, John Matthews.
He heard they came from the same West Wight Saxon graves where silver and gold jewellery was first discovered by metal-detecting enthusiast Stewart Thompson in 2004.
Mr Matthews also ruled as treasure this Anglo-Saxon silver hooked tag, pictured, dating back to the ninth or tenth century, found by Robert Fry while metal-detecting in May.---www.iwcp.co.uk
