Rowan Brannan is a 12-year-old boy. One day, he was with his mother Amanda walking the dog in a field in Sussex, England. Suddenly, he saw something. It was covered with soil. He picked the piece up and bought it home.
罗恩.布兰南是一个12岁的男孩。一天，他和他的母亲阿曼达在英格兰苏塞克斯的一块田地里遛狗。突然，他看到了一些东西。它被土壤覆盖着。他把那块东西捡起来带回家了。
“Rowan has always been into finding all kinds of pieces. He’s very adventurous and is always picking things up off the ground,” said his mom. “I’m forever saying ‘put it down — it’s dirty’.” “It was just normal to me, because I pick up a lot of things that I probably shouldn’t,” said the boy.
“罗恩一直在寻找各种各样的东西。他非常喜欢冒险，总是把地上的东西捡起来。”他的那俺说到，“我总是说‘把它放下——它很脏’。“ “这对我来说很正常，因为我捡了很多我可能不应该捡的东西，”这个男孩说。
Rowan held it. The more he kept holding the piece of metal, the more he believed that it could be actual gold. He tried to tell whether it was real gold. But there was no result.
罗恩保留这塔。他越拿着那块金属，就越相信它可能是真的金子。他试图分辨出那是不是真金。但是没有结果。
Rowan and his mother didn’t realize just how lucky Rowan’s discovery was until a hairdresser (理发师) came to their house. She told the pair that she was going on a metal searching group trip, which reminded Rowan to show her the metal he had found. She took a photo of the piece and showed it to the leader of the group. He said it looked old and recommended they get in touch with the British Finds Officer.
直到一位理发师来到他们家，罗恩和他的母亲才意识到罗恩的发现是多么幸运。她告诉这对母子，她要参加一个金属搜寻团体旅行，这提醒了罗恩给她看他找到的金属。她给这片金属拍了张照片，拿给旅行团队长看。他说，它看起来很旧，并建议他们与”英国发现官员“联系。
Amanda said the piece has gone through the examination. After much study, officials told the boy that he’d uncovered an “very, very rare” Roman bracelet. It was older than 2,000 years. The British Museum said so too. The family was told it belongs to the nation.
阿曼达说这块金属已经通过了检验。经过一番研究，官员们告诉这个男孩，他发现了一个“非常、非常罕见”的罗马手镯。它有2000多年的历史了。大英博物馆也这么说。这家人被告知它属于国家。
“It’s been really fascinating. We have learned so many things. It’s like, ‘Wow, imagine who wore that’. We’ve had a piece of history in our house.” said the boy.
“这真的太棒了。我们学到了很多东西。就像，‘哇，想象一下是谁戴过的’。我们家有一件极具历史的物品。”这个男孩说。
