A group of schoolboys has unearthed a rare 4,000-year-old ornament during a dig in Northumberland.
It is hoped the hair tress will be reunited with one found in 1935
The children from Cumbria were taking part in an excavation at Kirkhaugh when they saw a glint of gold in the soil.
The object, which was found in a burial mound, is believed to be a decorated hair tress from about 2,300 BC.
One of the boys, 7 year-old Joseph, said when he saw the gold in the ground he started "dancing with joy".
Rare discovery
The ornament, which is 33mm long and dates back to the Copper Age, was found alongside three flint arrowheads and a jet button.
The boys said they were "very happy" when they found out their find was gold
It is thought to have been worn by a metal worker who could have travelled to Britain from overseas in search of gold and copper.
The dig was arranged by the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as part of an archaeology project.
