The four incredible bronze artefacts, which have been hailed as ‘nationally important’, were found by the treasure hunters last May in Ryedale.
Auctioneer Charles Hanson took the auction from his Derbyshire auction house, streaming the event live online due to the pandemic.
Mr Hanson said the sale was “an extraordinary result”.

“It was an honour to auction these fascinating historical items – antiquities which had not been seen for 1,800 years.”
The collection is known as the Ryedale Ritual Bronzes and includes a well-preserved bust of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
