A METAL disc found by a detectorist on Church Cliff Beach, Lyme Regis, may have belonged to famous fossil collector Mary Anning.
Donated to Lyme Regis Museum, the token is now a source of mystery. It is about 25mm in diameter, and 1mm thick. It is an alloy, possibly brass, old but not corroded or coated with concretion, but the exciting aspects of the mystery token are its inscriptions.
