A Viking artefact used to craft decorative motifs for military helmets has sold at auction for £15,000.
Metal detectorist Jason Jones, 44, made the find in a field near Watton in Norfolk in January, having previously found two medieval silver coins there.
The bronze artefact, called a die, was bought by a UK collector at an auction at Noonans in London.
Mr Jones, from Norwich, said he was going to share the money with the landowner.
