Oh I love that Fishbourne Roman Palace is back!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
An important piece examining the vital information that is iretrievably lost when hoards are not excavated using the tried and archaeological process. Found a hoard while metal detecting? Stop digging! Call the excavation hotline number on the back of your #NCMD card Portable Antiquities
