During the summer Scout camp archaeology dig Morgause Lomas headed the team that drew two Derbyshire sisters into a dig to use their trowels to find what at first discovery looked like a muddy tent peg. Removing the soil, this was no tent peg. Was it an ancient brooch? So rare, could it really be true? The find headed to the British Museum for verification, Yes, Wow! Reported by the British Museum verification team, it was real.

 One and a half thousand years old. Sisters from Derby High School at the Derbyshire Scout archaeology dig had found a rare sixth century Anglo Saxon brooch.

Regional TV. Midlands’, who had filmed the original dig alerted National. ITV call for interviews in London, location? The British Museum - who verified the find.
