S21 | Boden's Top Finds (Sneak Preview) (Patreon)

Coming soon: Dani Wootton takes us back to Boden Fogou in Cornwall to discuss five fascinating finds that have been discovered at the site over the years.

While we're busy putting together the finishing touches, we're delighted to share an exclusive Patreon preview of one of the featured finds.

Prepare to enter the Iron Age... though not the one you might be thinking of.

This iron 'slug' was found during our own investigation of the site last September. Access the 3D model on Sketchfab here:

When we first shared the model on Patreon, some fans suggested it might be the head of a Roman tool – perhaps a chisel or hammer, with the hole indicating where the wooden handle originally slotted in.

However, in this video, Dani explains one intriguing but simple way in which we can be reasonably certain that this find comes from a much more recent era.

Keep a look out for the full selection of finds, coming soon.
