Collette Hoard, Bronze Age artifact collection in Museum of Antiquities, Great Britain.

The Collette Hoard contains six gold lock rings, bracelets, rings, pins, and six socketed axes found near Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland.

Metal detectorist John Minns discovered the Collette Hoard in April 2005, naming it after his eight-year-old daughter to maintain location confidentiality.

The collection includes the first socketed gouge tool found in Northumberland, demonstrating advanced Bronze Age craftsmanship in metalworking and tool production.

Visitors can examine the Collette Hoard artifacts at the Great North Museum in Newcastle upon Tyne during regular museum operating hours.

The hoard represents economic practices and trade networks of Bronze Age Britain through its combination of decorative jewelry and functional tools.
