90-Year-Old's Double History Discovery
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Ninety-year-old Dave Derby, a metal detectorist from England, has made history twice with his extraordinary finds. His first discovery was a Roman villa estate in 1996, followed by an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in 2003. Daves passion for archaeology began in 1964, and he has spent decades sharing his findings with experts and landowners. His work on the Roman site, called Clasp, attracted volunteers and students worldwide until 2012, revealing the villas continued use after the Romans left Britain. Daves second major find was a Saxon brooch, sword fragments, and human bones, which proved nationally important. Today, Dave continues to detect with his son, uncovering ancient secrets and cherishing artifacts like a seventh-century gold pendant.
