:13:14. > :13:16.when he went to his local boot sale at Amble in Northumberland.
:13:17. > :13:19.In amongst a selection of tools he spotted a battered old phece
:13:20. > :13:29.And it's turned out to be worth more than ?4,000 because it's a relic
:13:30. > :13:32.Well earlier, Martin brought his find into the studio.
:13:33. > :13:38.I asked him how he made his discovery.
:13:39. > :13:46.I was taken to a car`boot s`le and a lot of people congregated around the
:13:47. > :13:51.hardware store. And there w`s a box with busted equipment, brokdn
:13:52. > :13:56.hammers and screwdrivers. And there was this lump of wood. And ht was
:13:57. > :14:01.taped up and it looked quitd shabby. And I negotiated the prize. All I
:14:02. > :14:08.had at the time was about ?3. He wanted six and we haggled. Did you
:14:09. > :14:13.have a good idea what it was when you saw it? I had a rough idea. I
:14:14. > :14:19.was not sure how rare it actually was. Because I have been dohng some
:14:20. > :14:29.kind of research about Egyptology and symbolism. It was only when I
:14:30. > :14:35.got it valued, online, I sent it to them and they said it was vdry rare.
:14:36. > :14:40.They sent the information off to the British history Museum. And they
:14:41. > :14:45.said that they had only ever seen three in 25 years. And they said
:14:46. > :14:50.that they believed that it was used and thrown on the fire. What exactly
:14:51. > :14:57.is it? Can you show us how ht was used? It was a kind of Egyptian
:14:58. > :15:01.hammer. And it would have bden used to melt anything from boats,
:15:02. > :15:11.temples, monuments and heavx stonework. How much was it worth and
:15:12. > :15:15.how did it end up where it did? Honestly I am not sure but ht is
:15:16. > :15:22.about 4/2 thousand years old. And incredibly rare. `` 4500 ye`rs old.
:15:23. > :15:27.There are more sarcophagus than actual tools. I feel very close to
:15:28. > :15:36.it. And the price now? At around ?4000. Back to that car`boot sale!
:15:37. > :15:45.You could knock that three puid back down. Absolutely. Thank you for
:15:46. > :15:50.bringing it in. Amazing. Th`nks Jeff. If you were the unlucky dealer
:15:51. > :15:56.that sold this for ?3, have a good night. In these days of bro`dband
:15:57. > :15:59.and 24`hour television it is almost impossible to imagine a timd when
:16:00. > :16:04.recording what you saw was done by sketching. When Charles Darwin went
:16:05. > :16:12.on his historic trip which triggered the theory of evolution he went with
:16:13. > :16:15.what changed forever how we see the natural world. An artist has

:16:24. > :16:27.of the Galapagos. Has any schoolchild can tell you, it led
:16:28. > :16:33.Charles Darwin to his theorx of evolution. What he observed on his
:16:34. > :16:40.voyage is changed forever the way that science thought about life on
