Council snaps up ?350,000 relic
 
An ancient Celtic gold necklace unearthed in Nottinghamshire has been bought by a council for ?350,000.

Amateur treasure hunter Maurice Richardson found the torc with a metal detector near his Newark home in February 2005.

"It is a spectacular artefact.

"The torc is one of the most significant pieces of Celtic artwork found in northern Europe and it proves that there was a significant community in the Newark area," she said.

It is thought the relic, which would have been worn as a civic ornament, was buried as part of a religious offering.. . . . .
