Every time I read one of your posts, I still am amazed at the centuries old history you and others dig over there. Nice find. HH jim tn

It is indeed amazing, the history "across the pond," and your knowledge of what you find is also amazing, Ted.

Ted --

30 years explains your depth of knowledge -- clearly you have a passion for detecting AND the history of what's in the ground there. Very, very interesting and fascinating.
