What is it like to find the golden bible?

Asmall golden medieval bible, probably owned by a wealthy aristocrat, was found by a metal detector by a nurse named Buffy Bailey from Lancaster. The Bible was found in a field near York, where Buffy was searching with her husband.
The Bible is estimated to be 600 years old. The Bible is 1.5 centimetres high and experts agree that this object must have been owned by someone very wealthy. Even today's estimated price of over £100,000 is consistent with this. The booklet weighs just 5g and is engraved with images of St Margaret and Leonardo, the patron saints of childbirth. The Bible is thus to be used as protection for the mother during pregnancy.
The land on which the Bible was found adjoins part of the estate owned by Richard III. Experts speculate it may have been owned by his wife, Anne Neville. Furthermore, the object is very similar in workmanship to another similarly surreal artefact, the 'Jewel of Middleham', and it is possible that both objects are the work of the same artist.
Buffy Bailey originally thought she'd just found something from the gift shop.
