Silver vervel confirmed as treasure
A 15th-century silver disc used to connect the leather jesses attached to a hawk's legs has been confirmed as treasure. An inquest at Dunstable Coroner's Court heard how the piece was discovered by Mr. Wilde on property in Eaton Bray belonging to Mr. French in 2007. The disc, known as a vervel, has the name Edward inscribed on it and may have belonged to Prince Edward, the son of Henry VI, or a different Prince Edward, the son of Edward IV. Find out more in the

But if you're interested, it'll be on at 5 and 9 pm Eastern, and again at 2 am Friday morning. And if you see it, please feel free to

13th-century Torah auctioned at Sotheby’s
A Torah believed to have been inscribed in Soria between 1278 and 1295 was sold for $330,000 at Sotheby's in New York.
