I don’t know who exactly would love this other than my cousin William Yates (on Facebook as Will N Crystal Yates), and maybe one of my college friends who was an anthropology major, maybe Katie Daniel-Mayer.

Oh, let me think! my hubs, but he always ends up stealing my stuff anyway. How about a young friend who just came back from England, Jonathon Bell. He is one of my former pastor's kids! Another would be my nephew Jason Villwock. Like me, they both have a wide interest set!

@steve Mikre , Me , myself and I was thinking the same thing 🀣

Dianne Brown

Opened this up this day of Christmas Eve and started to read all of the incredible gifts when I realized I just watched the movie 2 days ago..... and loved it. It took me to unexpected places. I have since become an admirer of Basil Brown and have been looking for more on this story including all of the finds given to the British Museum of History. Great piece of history and The Dig.

Ann Wagner

Time Team’s return has been the most comforting and fascinating feature of a very hard year that included my losing my job and having my cousin’s getting long-haul Covid. My cousin Margaret Downs-Gamble, who lives in Maine, is a big Time Team fan. And my neighbor in Arkansas, friend, and former colleague Katie Hall and her husband Jerry Garner are big fans as well. We like to watch Time Team together when Covid permits. All of us would go crazy for that wonderful package of goodies!

Sarah Spencer-Futter

Loved TT from the start, and did a history degree because of it - Cliff Spencer Futter and Anneka Spencer-Futter are nearly as big fans as I am. My Grandson aged 2 has his trainee archaeologists t-shirt so we are all prepared. :)

I found Time Team when I was on bed rest for six weeks back in 2012. I've been an avid watcher ever since. My daughter Danice and her partner Eugene are both keen on history and archaeology and would probably try to figure a way to go on a dig if they were gifted a trowel.
