Quite obviously, possibly, the personal possession of King Edmund, lost when he nearly rode his horse over the edge into Cheddar Gorge whilst chasing a stag a bit too enthusiastically, and realised that his near fatal accident was punishment from God for being beastly to St Dunstan.  Don't South West Heritage Trust know how to write an sensationalist press release?
