The moment we found a medieval purse spill! ☀️

Three medieval pennies, all within a few yards of each other - one of them literally lying on the surface, sunbathing. A truly wonderful moment on the pod.

In our latest episode, we went to explore a huge Iron Age settlement in the heart of the Suffolk countryside.

This land was once home to 11 Iron Age roundhouses, with its ancient occupants living during the time of Julius Caesar’s invasion of Britain in 55 and 54 BC.

As such, Iron Age and Roman history was on our minds, and it’s what we expected to find. But one signal changed it all…

We unearthed a wonderful little medieval treasure - a 700-year-old purse spill.

Naturally, we took the discovery entirely in our stride 😎🤓

Hear the discovery, and our totally laid back reactions, in the latest episode of The Land Rovers Podcast - available wherever you listen to your podcasts.

It’s around 6 cm across, covered in an intricate swirling floral pattern, but blank on the reverse.

Any ideas what it could be? Let us know below…
