Where to find the Votive Boat

The Votive Boat is one of the epic artefacts buried in FieldHunters, a free online metal detecting game. Hunters sweep a shared field with a metal detector, follow the signal and dig — and epic pieces like this one are among the rarest things that come out of the ground. There is no way to buy it: it has to be dug up.

About vessels, lamps and crucibles

Vessels tell you how people ate, prayed and worked. Chalices were made for ritual and are often silver; oil lamps lit homes and temples for centuries; crucibles held molten metal in a smith's workshop. Fragments are far more common than whole pieces, and even a rim or a handle can say who used it and when.
