There was another wall between Britain and Saxony, which are now known as Wales and England. The great adventures of Arthur took place over a relatively small area of north Wales, west of the wall and in the vicinity of the wall. The overseas adventures in France were actually in what is England now.

. . . was found in the Staffordshire moorlands . . . Lots of interesting things seem to be very well-preserved in Britain's moors. Can't wait for them to sweep the whole lot of them with ground penetrating radar.

Thanks for posting these archeological stories!

You got it. Some exciting finds with GPR.
Have been having a blast with my 8 yr old granddaughter and a metal detector (Not one for precious metals). We found 5 horseshoes in about 10 minutes. Finding horseshoes with a grandaughter is better than finding gold...but we have 100 acres...so who knows...maybe a chest will turn up!!

Wow, that's the best picture of him I've seen. Amazing preservation. You can see every wrinkle. You can see his whiskers . . . His eyelids are perfect. It's like there was no decompostion whatsoever in 2,000 years.
To: Sacajaweau
Metal detectors are lots of fun, and the stuff you dig up can be very interesting.
When one of my best friends bought his first detector he went out with his steel-toed boots on. Within a few minutes he had found his foot. We all got a big laugh out of that.
To: LibWhacker
I owned steel toes, too. It takes a few minutes to catch on that you're an idiot. I get a kick out of my granddaughter. As soon as I turn it on, she makes sure the shovel is out of the way.

LOL . . . Have you found any rings for her yet? When it came to valuable things, I found more rings than anything else. It's amazing how many are out there.
Be nice to get a new detector. My old one is kaput.
To: blam
LOL . . . OMG, I hope all ended well and you didn't take down any bridges, blam!
