X Marks the Pot II
THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCASTEpisode 6. X Marks the Pot II. The Empire Strikes Pot.The Temple of Pot.Back to the Future Pot II(Sorry, this is too much fun...)For metal detectorists, the plough is a miracle worker, bringing well-worked sites back to life - something George knows well from his Helmingham Hoard site where the plough helped unearth hundreds of gold and silver coins. So, when Paul discovers that their 'X Marks the Pot' Roman site has been ploughed for the first time in decades it means only one thing - there’s way more to be found.Back they go for two days of serious digging, with detectors, finds bags, massive amounts of optimism and tons of questions in toe.Like, what can the artefacts they’re desperate to find tell us about the ancients who lived there? Can Paul find the rest of his pot? And the big one - who will win ‘best find’?To answer that, they call in an expert - trained archaeologist Ruby, who just happens to be George's girlfriend...This... is X Mark the Pot II: Judgement Day.To not miss an episode, please follow and subscribe on your favourite podcast platform.And to see images and videos of everything discussed and discovered, please follow us across our socials:Instagram: @thelandroverspodcastFacebook & YouTube: The Land Rovers: A History Hunting PodcastAlso - we now have a website!https://shows.acast.com/the-land-rovers-a-history-hunting-podcastMusic used in this pod available at Soundstripe.Written by Dustin Ransom.

For George, it's a chance to add to his vast collection of rare Roman artefacts and his understanding of how everyday Romans lived. He also gets the chance to take a breather and watch Paul dig holes bigger than any man has ever dug before...In the history world, 'X' never really marks the spot, and it doesn't here either.
