It often happens that beginners are lucky. Even without knowing how it is done, people get down to business and they do better than those who have been doing this for more than one year.
Young Briton Ava Bray was visiting Tony’s grandfather. The man is a member of the community of treasure hunters with metal detectors. He often walks on the beach with a metal detector. The girl often asked to let her play “with this ringing stick.”
But Tony was harsh. Ava was too small to lift it. When she reached the age of eight, her grandfather relented and allowed her to try a metal detector.
The joyful girl immediately rushed to the beach. It didn’t take long before the metal detector in the child’s hands beeped. Delighted, Ava began to dig up the sand.
She went 15-20 centimeters deeper and came across some kind of metal thing. It was part of a small bronze hatchet. When his granddaughter showed Tony the find, he did not immediately realize that he had a real archaeological find in his hands.
He himself could not identify such an old object dug up by his granddaughter. Experts have established that the subject is as much as three thousand years old. The find was taken to the local archaeological museum. But Ava will now be able to tell everyone that she has contributed to the archaeology of her region.
