And good evening my lovely lot, hope you have had a fab Sunday! Xx

well the day has come and we were off to friends house to chop tree down, and introduce them to the art of treasure hunting! 🥳 I don’t know who was more excited xx

will do my best to paint a picture of this place. It was once the site of a Roman settlement, bordered by the river Trent on 2 sides it formed a sort of island. Now the Trent is on one side and the land around has been drained, so the road ends at the village. The Romans built a stone causeway across the river, but once the Trent became to big to cross using the ford, a ferry was used. my friends house sits between the river and the site of the Roman settlement of Segelocom (now called Littleborough) and now it is just a few house and a Gorgeous church.

The church is made from Roman bricks and Anglo Saxon herringbone masonry. Here are some pics, (the Red Cross on the map shows my friends house) we did not find much in her garden, some Toy cars, lead, and some modern bits, but we really need to spend longer swinging and less chatting 😆 last pic is looking back at my friends house 😆 xx

What a lovely setting. 😍 Those strap hinges on the door.
The whole smells of sweet history.

Agree 100%… there is a definite unique goosebumpy feel here, I was all for throwing himself into the river to see if he could find treasure in its murky depths… but apparently that was a silly idea, far to deep, far to fast flowing, and far too cold… 🙄 so I’ve renamed him the fun sponge…. 😂😂 xx

I had an offer to go look for a cannon.
🌶 and 💧?
How deep sir?
10ft
I'll check with some divers.
🌶 do have a magnet?

That might work if it's steel, or the carriage had steel.
Pepper it might be stuck in the mud and and loose the magnet.

🌶 🤔 💭 Not if the rope is 💪 enough 🙂

🌶 I have 4 sites on my property.
When the corn is off your welcome to look.
I found a brass button once with my cheap
unit.
Thank you sir.

Corn is difficult, silage is this high, fuel corn stalks are this high.

We'll see what we can do.
I need to call the harvesting permission and say drop the head down for the 🌶 please.

Oh forgot this offer is from a walking encyclopedia of local history.
My mind is doing a🥴.
Site here, site there, did you know there was one there, and there.
The historical atlas missed so many homes back in 1862.
🌶 have a older map 1842
🌶 needs not to drool at a public gathering. 🤣

One more reason to ban Archeologists from the ocean.

Which magic ocean is it again that is storm free and everything that hits bottom remains immaculate as is and un influenced?

It basically boils down something as simple as ego's....... and as we all know... MONEY...
They cannot stand the fact someone else gets the attention or glory for finding or discovering.
AND...
They sure as hell dont want anyone else besides them profiting from it.
