Where to find the Golden Olive Wreath
The Golden Olive Wreath is one of the legendary artefacts buried in FieldHunters, a free online metal detecting game.

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.
