The team arrived over
the weekend and excavation has begun:
So far, they have turned
up “….an array of buttons, coins and a pair glasses were zapped by the metal
detectors on the battle field and are in themselves opening up interesting
questions and insights. For example:
The weight of the only
modern musket ball discovered is 2g heavier than the average 1815 ball that has
been weighed. Our finds specialist is keen to know if this is a common fact.
The dispersement of
re-enactment finds could shed light on the type of artefacts that a soldier in
1815 might lose (albeit euros had not been in circulation!)”
