Title: A Little rub off from my finds exhibition Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on June 15, 2009, 07:45:23 PM Graham Oxlade, (Archaeologist) Phoned me today, Pontypridd Museum who will be hosting my Metal Detecting Finds exhibition throughout July had told him about the exhibition. He does walks and talks for groups of people along / through roman areas and paths,
He wants me to go out with them one weekend in July with my Metal Detector, with a group of school children to show them how it works, and how it can find coins, he's going to plant some replicas for them to find,, so i'll take another detector with me i think, it will be on a Roman Marching Camp and then on a common, he'll also be showing them Roman Mosaic and how it was all put together, It'll be a good experience me finks, and good for us to be working together in harmony, Alan.
