Earl Spencer has revealed that he discovered a Roman bracelet in the grounds of the Althorp estate during a dig, just days after it was spotted at an appointment with an archaeologist.
Princess Diana’s younger brother, 60, has been sharing details of the dig at the Northamptonshire estate with his 244,000 Instagram followers.
Last week, the father of seven posted a photo of the half-excavated Roman well and said it was “as beautiful as any modern sculpture.”
Over the weekend, Charles, who was seen on a date with Norwegian archaeologist Cat Jarman earlier this month, shared details of his exciting discovery on his social media.
He gushed: ‘Beautiful Roman bracelet unearthed at Althorp this week. Last used? Probably 1,600 years ago, judging by the age of the remains in which it was found.
Charles Spencer and fellow podcaster Cat Jarman appeared relaxed in each other’s company during a date at the theater earlier this month.
The image shows a woman with a deep purple gel manicure holding the tarnished bracelet up to the camera.
‘Imagine losing it…. And then accept that they would never find him.
“I’ll show you what it looks like after we’ve carefully restored it to close to its original glory.”

Although Earl Spencer did not identify the woman in the photo, Dr. Cat Jarman was photographed with a dark manicure while walking through London’s Soho with Earl Spencer last week.
The couple, who host history podcast The Rabbit Hole Detectives, were seen walking towards the Prince of Wales Theatre, where they watched a performance of the hit musical comedy The Book of Mormon.
“They looked into each other’s eyes and there seemed to be a strong attraction,” said one viewer. “They were both laughing as they walked to the theater and he didn’t use his VIP status to avoid the long line.”
Viking expert Dr Jarman completed a PhD at the University of Bristol in 2017. She was recently named Nordic Person of the Year by the Confederation of Scandinavian Societies.
Earlier this month, Earl Spencer revealed the “immensely sad” news that he and his third wife, Karen Gordon, 52, a Canadian philanthropist, were divorcing.
Last week, the father-of-seven posted a photo of the half-excavated Roman well (pictured) and said it was “as beautiful as any modern sculpture.”

The couple married in 2011 and share daughter Charlotte Diana, 12.
It is understood their relationship broke down amid the strain of him writing his harrowing memoir, A Very Private School, which details the abuse he suffered at boarding school.
His wife was absent from his book launch events at Althorp and Spencer House in London in March, while Dr Jarman praised his “beautifully written” memoir on social media.
He has reportedly hired divorce lawyer Baroness Shackleton of Belgravia, known as the ‘steel magnolia’, to represent him.
