Things We Found in the Ground

Speakers: Eleanor Bruce and Lucilla Gray

Join writers Eleanor Bruce and Lucilla Gray on a metal detecting journey through Britain as they share their fascination with unearthing historic artefacts.

The metal detectorist cousins and authors of Things We Found in the Ground: A metal-detecting journey through Britain, have made some startling discoveries on their digs. Hear about the objects they've found and what they tell us about our ancestors, about the power of community - and about the history buried beneath our feet.
