    No Place Like Rome

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST

    Episode 27. No Place Like Rome
    Getting together for the first time in 2026 is pretty epic for George and Paul - they've got some new land and a new land owner to manage, and it's someone quite close to home... Literally.

    It’s George, who has just bought a house close to an amazing Roman site excavated by Basil Brown in 1949.

    The signs are good, but what will they uncover in George's back garden?

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST

    Episode 26. Silver & Saxons

    George and Paul are back at Red House Christmas tree farm still on the trail of those Saxons - and getting tantalisingly close.

    News has recently broken of a huge Anglo-Saxon settlement discovered right next door to one of their fields - so they’re hopeful that they have found the haystack.

    Can they now find the needle..?

    Christmas with the Saxons

    24/12/2025 | 44 mins.
    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST

    Episode 25. Christmas with the Saxons.

    In this first Christmas special the boys hit some new land they’ve got permission for - and it doesn’t get any more Christmassy.

    Red House Christmas tree farm sits in the heart of an ancient landscape. Saxon ship burials, early medieval villages, and lost windmills dot the landscape, but when they explore a mystery mound they find something totally unexpected, moving and a little more modern.

    Edge of Empire II

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST

    Episode 24. Part 2
    Edge of Empire

    This is the second part of our special episode in Holland, meeting and detecting with two amazing guys who discovered the Bunnik hoard.

    Autumn 2023. The ancient Roman limes.
    Gert-Jan and Reinier were detecting a field they’d had their eyes on for quite some time - with good reason.

    One stater became two, became handfuls and handfuls of Roman aurei, denarii, and intriguingly, British Iron-Age staters of Cunobelin. It all sounded a bit familiar so we thought we better make a trip over to Holland to visit them and hear the incredible story.

    THANKYOU for being amazing hosts Gert-Jan and Reinier.

    And THANKYOU Anton - the archaeologist who helped unearth the hoard.
