A young boy's finding is now on display at the Worthing Museum in England. His accidental discovery turned out to be an ancient axe dating back around 60,000 years.
A young boy from England found a shiny item on a beach that turned out to be a 'rare' ancient item dating back to the late Middle Paleolithic era. The boy — identified by Worthing Museum as Ben Witten, now 9 years old — discovered a shiny rock at Shoreham Beach in Sussex. 'I was looking around and I saw this shiny flint rock. I just thought it looked different all the other different pebbles and stones,' he told the BBC.
Significant ancient items don't always come from professional excavations. The museum, which offers free entry to guests, will have it on display until then. 'We will get it recorded with the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme, ensuring there is a record of the find for future generations,' he added. The child's discovery shows that significant ancient items don't always come out of professional excavations.
