For once Moss, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. It compounded all the reservations expressed earlier in this thread and it was dishonest in its 'harmlessness'. The 'find' was so obviously a replica of the very precious Alfred Jewel which was found in 1693 - implying there may be another one out there buried by an ancient site was at the very least disingenuous. I think you will find there may well be many more such aestel's lying buried tjj. Not so rare as you may think according to this! http://www.ashmolean.org/ash/objectofmonth/2005-04/theobject.htm I've read your link and there is nothing there that says the Alfred Jewel is anything but rare and precious. The closing scene of the Dectectorists (which I enjoyed for its characterisations rather than subject matter) very specifically showed a replica of the Alfred Jewel being found by a fallen standing stone - quite a cleverly reproduced fake artefact. At this point, sadly, the series ended on an unethical note - for me anyway, one which jarred. Reply | with quote |  4th December 2015ce 15:55 In reply to: Re: Detectorists 2 (Sanctuary) |
