What a find yesterday - Trewhiddle strap-end in silver, 9th century. Found by a metal detectorist in our group, as its silver it will be declared as treasure. Once that process is complete we'll be donating it to the museum. Our first from this period. Delighted 😊 @findsorguk

@IbrahimMakda14 @Mr_Goomantash @BRATTYBARBl This!!! Maybe cut from the edit?

@Mr_Goomantash @BRATTYBARBl Faraaz could confirm that Amanda took Rachel out of the room to have a private chat.

If Fiona pulls this off and gets Rachel banished she's making it to the end and will go down as the best traitor in the show's history #TheTraitors

@eastvillageguy 18 years ago my (now) wife and me booked a trip to the Killing Fields for maybe $10 each, as a 'bonus' they threw in a free AK47 with full clip to shoot into the jungle. Bear in mind this was immediately after seeing the mountain of skulls at the site

My boss told me that he went to Cambodia in 1997 and for $150 they let him shoot an RPG at a cow

‘The situation in which these weapons were found may tempt us to refer them to a very remote period indeed; even beyond that of the present world’ John Frere, on Hoxne, 1797

People always say that movies aren't documentaries and that "they know" that X or Y movie isn't perfectly historical. The DAMAGE, that Braveheart has done to people's perception of the middle ages (and Scottish history) is still yet to be undone, 30 years later. It's astonishing how much this movie shaped people's view on contemporary politics, ideology, fashion and warfare.

@BillSimmons Tune

You just can’t explain 1985.

How about "Where is our heritage demonstrably most risk from metal detecting"? It isn't lost, it's part of the archaeological record. Cc @Tess_Machling @holly_evans98 independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@LifeAfloat Do you happen to be heading to Peanmeanach? I think you're just south of it, beautiful peninsula

03.30. I’m excited to reach the western point of my adventure today. I’m cocooned in my wee tent against the rain. I’ve a warm glow of a job pretty well done & there’s more to come. This undertaking is more significant than my others. At the age of 61, I’ve rediscovered joy.

@kejamieson_ I took my eldest boy today, his first time, he LOVED the Victory (and everything else!) We spent a good half an hour fighting off imaginary boarders. Great day

A lovely few hours private guiding onboard HMS Victory for a Canadian group today ⚓️🇨🇦

@AndrewH73924115 @AstorJacob1 The most idiotic statement I've ever had the displeasure to lay eyes on

@AstorJacob1 One of the worst movies ever made

Plummer didn't like the script for Waterloo, and rewrote most of his lines to include "real" Wellington quotes. Well I have looked into a few, and he really did a deep dive on Wellington to get them, you don't find them in a single biography, they are spread across many memoirs
