Hair accessories, about 33mm long, from the Bronze Age, were found next to 3 arrowheads and a black button.

The BBC quoted 8-year-old Luca Alderson as saying: 'When I first saw it, I was happy but thought it was made of plastic. When I found out it was made of pure gold, I was really happy. '

The discovery of a group of four elementary boys is thought to be as important as Kirkhaugh's excavation led by the famous archaeologist Herbert Maryon in 1935.
