A school field trip to Ein Kerem in the Judean Hills turned into a once-in-a-lifetime discovery for a 10-year-old boy, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) reported on Sunday.

According to The Jerusalem Post, "The golden medallion, which features a micro-mosaic technique, was examined by Amit Re'em, the IAA's Jerusalem District Archaeologist."

Ein Kerem is recognized as a significant pilgrimage destination for Christians who desire to see the birthplace of John the Baptist. It is also where Mary, the mother of Jesus, had a significant visit with her cousin, Elizabeth (John's mother).
