Dark Age Discoveries

Children dig up their finds.

Earlier this week, local school children have found what look like viking artefacts. These were located in the grounds of Middleham School when a group of children were testing a friend‛s metal detector. The objects are thought to be Viking remains which is a big co-incidence as the children have been learning about these ferocious fighters and had guessed what they were, what they were made of and what they were used for. The owner of the metal detector is Joey Lappin, aged 7. He was given the detector for christmas and was intrigued to find out what it did.

Mrs Dobbs, who is the Head Teacher, said, “It‛s very interesting and exciting that some ancient artefacts have been found in our grounds !” Children have high hopes that the objects are of Viking origin and the Hawes Museum have been e-mailed and soon will be running tests. Josh

Viking  Artifacts   

Last week, a young boy discovered mysterious objects buried under school grounds. The children think they belonged to the Vikings and the teacher has sent an e­mail to the Museum to find out if they really are from the Vikings!       

At the time, the children were testing out a metal detector. The Museum say that they probably are from the Vikings so the children are so excited to find out if they really are from years back! Teacher, Mrs Monaghan said, “I wonder where they came from?”  Letia

Edward Suttill ,9, who lives in Carlton in Coverdale, managed to discover the mysterious objects in the school ground. He thought he was able to find them with all the rain have had

pushed them up to the surface. The artefacts were found with the use of Joey‛s metal detector with further try at lunch with little success in finding anything. Mrs Monaghan, who was teaching at the time, said “ The children were amazed when they brought them back up to our class, we just didn‛t know what to do with them!” However, photos of the objects have been sent to Hawes Museum, and still need further emails to work out what year the coins were from. And they are waiting for futher notice from the Museum. The children can‛t wait to find out what they are.
