A gold necklace has been discovered by experts examining the world's largest hoard of Celtic coins.

Senior conservator Neil Mahrer is working on Le Catillon II hoard and said they had already cleared nearly 4,000 of about 70,000 coins.

The gold torque was partially exposed as researchers began to remove coins from around it.

The coins were discovered by two amateur metal detector enthusiasts, Reg Mead and Richard Miles, in 2012.

I just cannot believe the pictures of those coins and artefacts. Thousands and thousands of coins on top of artefacts. It begs the question of why they ended up in such a huge pile in the ground. Crazy find!!

Just goes to prove that, if you are a Jew, it really doesn't help you to overfill your pockets

I don't know the dimensions of this hoard but, be honest, If you were detecting, and you got a signal 6 feet wide and 8 feet long, would you dig it?
I would probably think my Deus had had a seizure!!

I think I would, I might just find a car in better condition that the one I have now
