A Florida archaeology student made a remarkable discovery during her first excavation in the UK, unearthing a rare 9th-century gold artifact within just 90 minutes of starting her dig. The incredible find has captured the attention of fellow students and instructors alike, as it marks a stunning achievement for a rookie archaeologist. Alongside her peers from Newcastle University, she participated in a Northumberland dig where several archaeology students collectively discovered the historic object. The 1,100-year-old artifact highlights the exciting prospects of archaeological fieldwork and the potential for significant discoveries, especially for those just beginning their journeys in the field.
