Maurice Richdson, after forty years of searching, found a magnificent torques, the price of which has climbed to £350,000. But bad weather could have put a damper on everything...
For forty years, Maurice Richardson has been on a regular search with his metal detector in almost every kind of weather. Thanks to his persistence, at 59 he has finally found a 2,000-year-old treasure. It's a gold torques, worth £350,000.
Scientists at the British Museum have described it as one of the most valuable Iron Age finds. In particular, the perfectly executed craftsmanship has raised suspicions as to whether it is a fake. Subsequent research, however, confirmed that the torques found were genuine.
"The detector started to give a signal, but as it was raining a lot, I thought I would skip digging this time. However, I kept wondering what might be underground. Finally, I gave up and started digging. After a while I came across an object, so I knelt down and started digging with my hands. At that moment, I had no idea that there was a golden torques hidden under the layer of dirt. When you read about finds like this, you secretly dream that you might be among the chosen. When I finally removed the jewel from the ground, I was simply amazed. I didn't think about money at that moment," said Maurice Richardson.
Torques is similar to other jewels of its kind found in Europe. In appearance, it resembles a large necklace that was discovered in the UK in the 1950s. This similarly declares the great skill of the craftsmen of the first half of the first century BC. It is one of the most elaborate pieces of ancient jewellery. In all that time, neither Roman, Greek nor Chinese precious objects have been able to match it.
This large necklace is the big brother of the one found by Maurice Richardson. It was made with one kilogram of gold and silver. In total, the construction contains 64 threads, one of which measures 1.9 mm. These are gathered in eight bundles to create a perfect visual effect. This large torques was buried around 75 BC. It is currently housed in the British Museum.
Torques were worn only by the most powerful women and men in Celtic Britain. It was sometimes placed on statues of the gods. It was popular with both Celtic and Roman dignitaries. It was made of bronze and gold, sometimes silver and iron.
