A rare piece of Viking gold, unearthed by a Manx metal detectorist, has been declared Treasure by the Isle of Man Deputy Coroner of Inquests.

The fragment of a gold arm-ring, belonging to a Viking, dates back to AD 1000-1100 and was found earlier this year, in Spring, by Ronald Clucas.

Mr Clucas - a member of the Manx Detectorist Society - has been detecting for 50 years, with 2025 marking (somewhat appropriately) his golden anniversary of metal detecting

In this edition of Newscast, Allison Fox, Curator for Archaeology for Manx National Heritage, speaks to Lewis Foster about what the find means for the Isle of Man.

The gold arm-ring will go on display in the Viking Gallery at the Manx Museum from Saturday, 31 May. Admission is free, with donations welcome.
