“The Romans have been there, everyone has been there – and we’re the ones to find it,” said 13-year-old Milly Hardwick.

Items from one of two Bronze Age hoards, totaling around 200 artifacts, that were found near Royston, England.

Her father rushed over and started digging. About 10 minutes later, he pulled out an item that resembled part of an ax, he said.“I was just shocked,” Milly said. “We were just laughing our heads off.” The Bronze Age in Britain lasted from 2,300 B.C. to 800 B.C., during a period referred to as prehistoric England, before there were written records, according to English Heritage, a charity that manages historic monuments, buildings and places. Around the start of the Bronze Age, the first metal weapons and jewelry began to arrive in Britain, and people were buried with these items in individual graves.

She said that if a coroner declares that the Royston find meets the government definition of “treasure” — objects made of at least 10% gold or silver that are at least 300 years old — then a committee will set the value of the items. Milly said she would wait to see whether she would win any reward before making plans about how to spend it.
