Twenty thousand visitors a month were attracted to the museum by gold jewelry from the Iron Age, which was found by a finder with metal detectors in Great Britain. They discovered three necklaces and one bracelet, which experts say are 2,400 years old.

The precious jewelery of our seeker is Staffordshire, later exhibited by The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, where over twenty thousand people came to see the golden treasure in one month. The lucky finder is Joe Kani, who has been researching treasures for many years.

The jewelry was not in one place, part was found by a searcher about a meter away from the first find. Coroner Ian Smith declared the necklaces and bracelet as treasure, because the items are more than 300 years old and contain a corresponding percentage of precious metals, which is a condition.

After the Stoke-on-Trent exhibition ended, they took the treasure to the British Museum, where it was appreciated by local experts. They stated that the jewelry was probably worn by very rich and powerful women. "We are glad that we were able to exhibit the gold jewelry even before it was awarded and it will be decided who will definitely get it," said Dave Conway on behalf of The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.

Archaeologists also went to the place where the jewelers found the jewels to inspect the site. However, they did not discover other rare artifacts.

Kania also searched the field several times with his friend Mark Hambleton, who returned to the metal detectors after a short break on his father's recommendation. Longtime friends searched the field all day, but found nothing rare. Just a dilapidated Victorian coin or common field finds.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Joe came across something and immediately ran to tell a friend. "We were just about to wrap it up when Joe came to tell me he probably had something. He pulled a gold neckerchief from his pocket and rocked it in front of me. My legs were shaking and I stopped breathing. I was completely out of it, "Mark recalled.

In the end, it turned out that his friend had encountered a Celtic treasure. Two pieces of jewelry are made of twisted gold wire, the other two have a tubular ending…
