A famous backer for the Mariners
The fertility figure dates back to the Celtic period from the 1st century AD and was found at a detector rally in Haconby in Lincolnshire.The figure, which measures 5.5cm high by 1.2cm, had been estimated to fetch £800-£1,200 but it sold for more to a UK buyer.
After the auction, Paul said: “We are really pleased with the price that the figure made. We really enjoy metal detecting and go out at least three times a week – nothing would stop us doing that! “This male figure with its hinged oversized phallus would have had symbolic powers of good luck and warding off evil spirits and may have served as a locking mechanism as a buckle to hold a belt and scabbard for a sword.”
Jo had just found a Medieval penny and Paul was hoping his luck would change when he got a signal on his new XP Deus II.
