Where to find the Enamelled Brooch

The Enamelled Brooch 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 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.
