he collection of Roman artefacts that were recovered by Bob and Rolfe from the River Tees is remarkable. They found everything from coins and medical instruments to rare gold rings and miniature axe heads.
The collection has undergone research by Reading University, as the assemblage represents an internationally important river collection. In this talk, Bob will bring to life his connection to the collection, which he has been involved with for the last 30 years.
