Gold, Ghosts and a Talking Mongoose
In 2019, a gold torc neck-ring was found in Pulborough, Sussex. Thought to be Iron Age, and around 2400 years old, there were suspicions that it just wasn't quite right for this time period.

Join archaeologist Tess Machling for a roller-coaster journey through a world of archaeological shenanigans, theft, 20th century forgeries - and a famous ghosthunter called Harry Price...!
