My farmer friend and I were invited to a local South Gloucestershire school to give a talk to the children who were making a study of their local history.
We covered 4 classes between us and the children were very surprised at what we took along.
I took a chance and let them handle any of the finds and all of them were returned without a problem.
Certainly when we had finished they all realised the importance of both their local and our National history is and just as we were passing some to them they in turn would be able to to so for future generations.
They were very knowledgable with regards their written local history but actually handling finds was the icing on the cake for them. Jerry.

Nice one Jerry!
There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.

Thats a nice thing to do. Kids look interested and dare I say respectable if you know what I mean.
