Medieval Gold Brooch With Supernatural Inscriptions Discovered

Now, this is a good find!

A medieval gold brooch was found by a metal detectorist in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The item has a series of Latin and Hebrew inscriptions, believed to be protection against illness or supernatural events. The accessory is estimated to have been created between A.D. 1150 and 1400.

The Latin inscriptions translate to "hail Mary full of grace the Lord/ is with thee/ blessed art thou amongst women/ and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Amen," while the Hebrew initials on the jewelry represent words that meant "thou art mighty forever, O Lord."
