What the evidence supports
The initials beneath the crystal may be J (or I) and D. MNH notes a possible association with the Stanley family, but explicitly says the owner or person commemorated may never be established, so that association is not treated as fact. The source gives only the south of the Island and says the find location will remain secret; this record therefore publishes no geometry.
Location and precision
Location withheld. Exact find location explicitly withheld by MNH; the broad 'south of the Island' wording is not converted into a map area.
Why no public geometry is published: The source location is withheld from the deployable dataset.
No coordinates published
Exact find location explicitly withheld by MNH; the broad 'south of the Island' wording is not converted into a map area.
Access is not implied
Find location confidential; consult MNH collection and display information rather than attempting to identify the site.
Legal note
On the Isle of Man, metal-detector use in a protected area requires written Manx National Heritage consent, and digging or excavation on any land to search for archaeological objects requires an MNH licence. Landowner permission alone is not enough.
