Where to find the Championship Medallion

The Championship Medallion 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 coins and medals

Coins are the most common precious find for real detectorists, and the most telling: a coin carries a ruler, a mint or a date, so it can place a whole site in time. Gold coins were rarely lost by accident — they were hidden, hoarded or buried, which is why a single gold piece in a field usually means a story. Medals and medallions were struck to mark victories, reigns, harvests and celebrations, and were kept as keepsakes long after the event.
