think worth preserving. It ran as follows:

_Ancient Gold Collar found in Staffordshire._--It may probably interest
some of your readers to {538} know that a very ancient golden collar was
lately found in the village of Stanton, Staffordshire, which is about three
miles north of Ashbourne.

A labourer digging up a field, which had not been ploughed or dug up in the
memory of man, turned up the collar, which, being curled up at the time,
sprang up, and the labourer taking it for a snake, struck it out of his way
with his spade: the next morning it was discovered not to be a snake.
Unfortunately the blow had broken off a small piece at one end. The collar
is now in the possession of the person with whom the curate of Stanton
lodges. The description given to me is, that it is about two feet long, and
formed of three pieces of gold twined together, and, with the above
exception, in a very good state of preservation.

I hear that there is a similar collar in the British Museum, that was found
in Ireland, but none that was found in England; and that the authorities of
the Museum have been informed of this collar, but have taken no steps to
obtain possession of it.

[Our correspondent is under an erroneous impression as to gold torques
not being found in England. Several are figured in the _Archaeologia_,
and we have some reason to believe that the torque now described, and
of which we should be glad to receive any farther particulars,
resembles one which formed part of the celebrated Polden find described
by Mr. Harford in the fourteenth volume of the _Archaeologia_, and
figured at p. 90.; and also that found at Boyton in Suffolk in 1835,
and engraved in the _Archaeologia_, vol. xxvi. p. 471.--ED.]
