Wiltshire bronze age jewellery hoard declared treasure

1/4. The collection is termed an ornament horizon hoard as it contains jewellery rather than tools
A hoard of "extraordinary" Bronze Age jewellery discovered in a Wiltshire field has been declared treasure.
Some 41 copper alloy pieces including bracelets, neck rings and tools, were found by metal detectorists near the village of Wylye in 2012.

A Salisbury coroner declared the hoard treasure at an inquest and it will now be valued.

Salisbury Museum has already registered its intention of buying the hoard as an "exquisite addition" to a new gallery.

"The hoard is outstanding and in beautiful condition," said Richard Henry, finds liaison officer for Wiltshire.
It was recorded and catalogued by the Portable Antiquities Scheme and a market value will be placed on it by the Treasure Valuation Committee. [...] bbc.co.uk
