Where to find the Bronze Lar

The Bronze Lar 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 regalia and ceremonial pieces

Crowns, diadems, masks and staff heads were made to be seen. They marked rank, office and ritual, and were often made of gold or gilded metal so they would catch the light in a crowd or a procession. Pieces like these were rarely discarded; when they turn up, it is usually as part of a burial, a deliberate offering or a treasure hidden in a hurry.
