Certainly, here's a paraphrased version of the text:
"In September 2000, a valuable collection of gold and bronze artifacts was discovered in a field near Monkston in Milton Keynes, England, and is known as the Milton Keynes Treasure. This treasure included two gold ends, three bracelets, and a fragment of a bronze rod that were found inside a pottery vessel. The presence of pottery in the discovery helped date it to approximately 1150-800 BC.
The British Museum has hailed this find, which weighed 2,020 kilograms (about 4.45 pounds), as "one of the most significant assemblages of Bronze Age gold ever found in Britain," offering valuable insights into the social and economic aspects of that era. The estimated value of the treasure is £290,000, and it is now housed in the British Museum.
Within a radius of 10-12 miles from downtown Milton Keynes, several other historical artifacts, including Romano-British hoards, have also been uncovered.
The discovery of the Milton Keynes Treasure occurred when Michael Rutland and Gordon Heritage were conducting metal detecting activities in what is now Monxton Park. They had been invited by local archaeologists who were concluding a dig nearby when they stumbled upon this remarkable find. Promptly, they reported the discovery to archaeologists Brian Giggins, Paul and Charmian Woodfield, a step deemed essential to preserve the historical context. Haley Bullock of the British Museum was commended for her swift action in safeguarding the site and expediting the excavation. The finders of the treasure, considered metal prospectors, were eventually rewarded 60% of its value, as it was determined that landowners' claims of unauthorized prospecting were unfounded.
The treasure consists of two substantial gold ends, three smaller gold bracelets, a fragment of a bronze rod or wire, and an unadorned pottery bowl with characteristics typical of the post-Deverell-Rimbury style fine ware, measuring 100 mm (3.9 inches) in height.
The heaviest item (see Specifications below, item 1) weighed 626.9 grams (about 22.11 ounces), and the second torso and bracelet (items 2 and 4) contained the highest gold content, each at 85%, following X-ray fluorescence analysis at the British Museum.
The total weight of the treasure is 2,020 kilograms (approximately 4.45 pounds), and the British Museum has characterized it as "one of the most extensive collections of Bronze Age gold ever found in Britain, indicating considerable wealth."
The timely reporting of the hoard by the discoverers established a connection between the gold hoard and pottery from the British Middle and Late Bronze Age (circa 1500-800 BC). Moreover, the presence of pottery in the find serves to confirm and possibly refine its dating. Additionally, the British Museum noted, "This discovery offers a valuable link between the types of gold objects found and the broader social and economic landscape of Bronze Age Britain."
