Well, I came to a Norman Castle but I wasn’t quite expecting this exciting find to emerge on the one day I’m here. It was Jenny’s first day digging on an archaeological site - and she found this silver penny of William the Conqueror! #RichmondCastle #DiggingRoadtrip

[Jim Brightman @angelus1981]

Very excited to have the #DiggingforBritain cameras and @theAliceRoberts on site at Richmond Castle today! 😀
