Where to find the Silk Road Seal

The Silk Road Seal is one of the legendary 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 legendary 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 seals, plaques and stamped pieces

Seal matrices, plaques and stamped tokens were how people proved who they were and what they owned. A seal pressed into wax authenticated a letter or a deed; a stamped plaque could mark membership, a prize or a dedication. Because they were made to carry a design, they often preserve names, symbols and fine detail that other finds lose.
