Gran trabajo de los detectoristas y gran apoyo del estado a este colectivo y a la cultura. Gracias por defender y respaldar la libertad que hay en vuestro país, con leyes democráticas y no en favor exclusivamente del estado. Saludos
I'm so tired of ancient jewellery being referred to as 'bling' by professionals. We all know what type of modern day individual where's bling and we know why. It's wrong to simplify and contort the image that we have of our ancestors in order to try and make history more accessible. Items such as those shown in this video were not picked off the shelf in some prehistoric shopping mall. A huge amount of time and immense skill was required. The torcs might even have been seen as having a magical energy all of their own. The act of giving them may have been ritualistic and the act of receiving them may have been a solemn experience for the recipient. Let's give our ancient folk; from Briton to Saxon, some respect.
Beautiful torques, and wonderful presentation. Bravo!
Fascinating talk, thanks. Looking forward to seeing them in the museum.
Great talk! Very well presented, really informative! 👍🏻

Beautiful torques, metal detectorists do a great job in the UK, sad they are prosecuted in most other countries
Love live King Richard iii. And they were from 2 dead Lancastrians whose bodies were thrown in the river, how do i know? I died there as well.
