<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24700655, member: 26430&quot;]Very cool, thanks for sharing the photos. I &quot;went to&quot; (by Zoom) an ANS talk by Richard Beleson last October, who participated in the excavations and was giving a report on it (for the ANS Long Table series). </p><p><br /></p><p>I &quot;saw&quot; [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] in attendance, who asked a question about whether they use metal detectors. I found the answer very revealing, so good question!</p><p><br /></p><p>(Was anyone else there? I wrote down attendee names I recognized on the Zoom screens.)</p><p><br /></p><p>He even found a coin or two. It was quite interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was Long Table 112. You can actually watch it on the ANS&#039;s YouTube Channel: [MEDIA=youtube]_qEcH2rHp10[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]_qEcH2rHp10[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bunch of notes, but <b>here&#039;s ANS description</b>: </p><blockquote><p>ANS Fellow Richard Beleson will give a presentation on the history of the excavations at Vindolanda, a Roman fort in northern Britain. These excavations have produced extraordinary finds, including the famed “Vindolanda tablets,” the largest collection of Roman footwear, and hundreds of coins. Mr. Beleson, along with fellow ANS member Wayne Kimber and Dave Michaels of the Classical Numismatic Group, participated in these exciting excavations this past summer. He will discuss the experience, give us a brief look at some of the finds, and explain how to become a volunteer.</p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
