Where to find the Colonel's Gorget
The Colonel's Gorget is one of the legendary artefacts buried in FieldHunters, a free online metal detecting game.

About jewellery and dress fittings
Brooches, fibulae, pendants, torcs and amulets were both fashion and function: they fastened clothes, showed status and, often, were believed to protect the wearer. The torc, a rigid twisted neck ring, was a mark of high rank among Iron Age peoples. Fibulae — ancient safety-pin brooches — changed style so often that archaeologists use them to date the sites they are found on.
