Metal detectorist Robert Edwards found what he thought was a sixpence when searching at Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, but on closer examination, learned it was a 300-year-old silver thimble on which was engraved, "LYKE STIL AND LOVE EVER,” which means “like enduringly, love forever.” Smithsonian Magazine has the story behind this treasure.
