Ha! Love that! Perhaps we should have got the second part printed on the back of our t-shirts! And thank you. We've got a little series of new videos that we'll be starting to release over the next few months so we hope you'll enjoy them all too!

I'm trying to convince my next door neighbour (Yukon, Canada) to join in. She's very fit & keen to try a dig, she's off to the UK this yr?🤞 with her daughter. I must invite her for coffee & show her this video, along w/a few others (a cunning plan😉) cheers everyone!

only been on one medieval site - it was with the West Kent Archaeology group at a small village called Farningham way back in 1979 (or maybe 1978...so long ago). Wow I remember we plotted the trenches using a plane table and offsets from a benchmark......not many finds, but I did find a small group of silver pins that could have been in a bag due to the way they were grouped

oh that's a fantastic discovery! We still plot the trenches by hand, but these days we also make 3D models. Take a look at these - you can see the moat bridge up close: sketchfab.com/digventures/collections/soulton-hall-scheduled-ancient-monument-744e8598fe3f4b799a1e343287ba926d

@@Digventures great set of images thanks. I'm actually subscribed to you and get your newsletters (digventures that is). I just wish I had some proper photos of my site - the recording of the site back then was minimal to say the least. very few finds, apart from the broken wine bottles in the small section of cellar that I did. If I remember rightly the house burned down and they decided to not re-build on that site, they moved across the road and that's where the current manor house still stands and is in use. I've never been able to find any sort of write-up for my site.

@@neilfleming2787 that is such a shame you can't find a write -up, but that was a sadly common state of affairs. often they go unpublished, or are just grey literature that is hard to track down unless you know how to navigate all the official bodies and repositories. on the plus side, things do seem to be changing. and as I'm sure you know if you already get our emails, you can always see all of our reports on our website once they're published! digventures.com/reports/ if we come across anything to do with Farningham, we'll be sure to share it...

Are there any ways a member of the Public could join a dig as volunteers???? I’d live to spend a holiday doing this. There must be a mini course surely so finds not compromised and good fund raiser??????? Pay to do it??

Yes! That's exactly what we do! All of our digs are open to members of the public to join us. We run fieldschools and crowdfunded digs where we show you how to do archaeology, and you dig alongside our team. You can even join the dig in this video! Take a look at how you can get involved here: digventures.com/calendar/
