After a while one of the carefully planned sites noticed part of a box in the corner of their hole. Getting permission they extended their dig square.

What could be inside? |
Eager to open the box a mummy was found with many burial items. The police (the school office) were called to get permission to continue and remove the box from the ground.

During the morning many other finds had been made too. Pupils had been conducting interviews and sharing what they found.
