A nine year-old boy walking on a beach in England recently found an axe that is believed to be 60,000 years old.

It’s amazing that he spotted it because it’s not very big and it didn’t have a handle or anything.

His dad brought him and the axe to a local museum and officials there confirmed the authenticity of the find. This kid has a future as a treasure hunter.

9-year-old boy finds 60,000-year-old axe at Shoreham Beach in England

A young boy from England found a shiny item on a beach that turned out to be a “rare” ancient item dating back to the late Middle Paleolithic era.

The boy — identified by Worthing Museum as Ben Witten, now 9 years old — discovered a shiny rock at Shoreham Beach in Sussex.

“I was looking around and I saw this shiny flint rock. I just thought it looked different [from] all the other different pebbles and stones,” he told the BBC…

A trip to Worthing Museum changed everything for the boy…

The item turned out to be a hand axe from the late Middle Paleolithic period, an era dating back between 40,000 and 60,000 years ago, according to a Nov. 21 Facebook post by Worthing Museum.

The museum said that the item was “almost certainly made by a Neanderthal.”

Here’s a BBC video report:

What an amazing find.

You never know what kind of ancient treasures could be right under your nose in the most open of places. This kid deserves a lot of credit just for noticing.
