Teatime 4 | Spilling the tea on 'The Celtic Spring' with Carenza Lewis

I was so livid that that sword was stuck back in the ground to deteriorate further rather than being preserved and taken good care of....

Why is this episode not available?

The "terrified of being nabbed and imprisoned, after being shopped to plod, night-hawkers' dump-off and scarper bog' episode. aye.

And this is one of my favorite episodes. Fools trying to outwit professionals. Tony was far kinder than I likely would have been.

I always adored Carenza, and she's as lovely as ever. Do put a colored/colorful woven hanging behind her, tho. Will improve the sound as well as making her fair English skin look even better!

Ive just watched that episode funnily enough and enjoyed it immensely - especially in the early stages before it became clear it was a spoof site when some of the more 'imaginitive' archaeologists were waxing lyrical about bronze age and iron age rituals.... will TT Official do (or have they already done) a look back at the excavation of the crashed B-17 where - as if by magic - one of the volunteer helpers seemd to find four propellers that had already been removed from the crash site hidden in his shed or similar?

Nice Video

what happened afterwards? Was the mystery solved. I thought it was interesting that the land owner decided to not be filmed.

It would have been plenty cool if it was done by the 1900's guy, but wow, total fraud. I hope the farmer didn't get to profit off of the stuff. It did remind me a bit of my favorite Antique Roadshow episodes when they spot fakes. Carenza really was the solid backbone of that show. Who is this gentleman though?

Carenza is as lovely as ever. I have always loved her passion for archeology and her speaking voice.

I’m curious about the spring. Was it a genuine spring or had water from the adjacent field been fed there. Was there an underground pipe? Thanks for years of Time Team. I’m a great fan.

Because of the wide selection of artifacts, I'm wondering if the items were collected by a metal detector who was trying to make the items legal by staging them.

Being from Dekalb Illinois, where barbed wire was invented, I could probably roughly date some barbed wire for you! haha! At least I would recognize if it were an early patent one! :D

I felt the planter of the site had been a keen drinker and a bit of a loner....did they ever expect excavation?

I remember that one but I thought it was earlier in the show. When she found the barbed wire it sounded like Carenza was ready to kill.

This is the episode that vaulted Time Team to the next level...👍🇬🇧

I could picture small children playing with the sword, and losing it.

Are you going to have a chats with Tony?

Llygadwy showed more technical methods used, which made for an interesting watch.
