🥇 BANNER Incredible once in a lifetime find form England

[coinshooter]

Just got back from a trip to England to go detecting. We hunted alot of fields and did alot of walking in those 5 days or so. Lots of wind and rain, but my luck held out. I was walking the edge of a field and looked down while detecting. Not sure if I hit this with my detector and then looked down, or just looked down. Sticking out of the dirt was this weird shiney object. Thought it was a piece of trash till I picked it up. I looked at it and it looked like a gold swizzle stick for a cocktail. BUT, I knew it was gold, so I called over to the rest of the group. "I found BIG gold", to which the reply came back, "what, a coin?", "No", "a ring?", "No, It is about 6 inches long and twisted". "I'll be right over!!". Turns out this piece is a GOLD piece of a possible BRONZE AGE 1200-1300 B.C. Torc belt.
Somewhere in that field we suspect there may be another 18 inches of that Torc. I left it in England to be evaluated for Treasure Trove. As this is a piece of UK history, it would be nice to see it in a museum over there. Nothing can ever match up to finding a piece like this!

That's unbelievable, what a historic find. Congratulations, hope to hear more about the find and whether or not more of this piece is recovered.

I'll give this a banner vote. Definitely a rare item and absolutely ancient. Sometimes it's not just the material or rarity it's the age that impresses me!

Also is this related to the guy in The Monkeys (one of the finest bands to ever be fabricated) Peter Torc?

I agree. If there was a banner for the banner, this should be on it.

I remember a Bronze Age bit of a Gold Lunar neckless, just as rare, maybe rarer.
