  13. Ken Hill, in Norfolk U.K. was found to have lots of bronze, gold and silver metalwork found over 50 years. It is Europe's largest hoard of Late Iron Age jewellery- weighing about 130 Lbs.

Much of the finds were torcs and these were over 100 years old- so perhaps changing fashion too? archaeology.org/issues/septemb
