The next installment of ' #HarryPrice & the #PulboroughTorc'.
Whether he made the torc, had it made - or planted a real one - the overwhelming evidence that Harry Price was involved is becoming impossible to ignore.
Enjoy! 😊

New #HarryPrice paper coming out Monday morning.
It's about the Pulborough Area torc & is as madly 'Harry' as anything I've written to date... 🤣
If you haven't come across Harry Price & the Pulborough torc yet, you can catch up here ready for Monday!

Two years ago, we released the paper I enjoyed researching & writing more than any other.
Several folks don't agree with our conclusions, but I stand by every word.
Settle in for a Sunday read with the for & against here:
-
Anyone in #StAlbans, would be lovely to see you on the 15th November!
It's a tale of 2500 year old gold, ghosthunters, early 20th century forgery... and a talking mongoose!
Please share! Thank you! 😊

The 'Pulborough Area' torc: Is it #IronAge, a forgery or a planted genuine #torc?
Our view? The jury is still out. 👇
Our response to a British Museum paper (published in @IntarchEditor in September)

We stand by our original paper on the #Pulborough Area torc, which you can find here: https://bigbookoftorcs.com/2023/10/19/all-the-right-notes-but-not-necessarily-in-the-right-order-the-riddle-of-the-pulborough-area-torc-from-sussex/
Thoughts why coming soon...

Reminder- 6th March, online.
Gold #torcs, #HarryPrice & all manner of early 20thC #archaeology shenanigans...
The first time we gave a lecture about this, we couldn't stop laughing as it's such a tall tale!
Please come watch Roll & I try & keep straight faces (we won't be able to...🤣)

Now, if you were thinking these are photos of someone's fur stole on a fence, you'd be wrong.
This is, of course, Gef....
Of course it is. 🤣🤣
(Still loving Chris Josiffe's book!!)

A month ago today, we released this paper. So far, it's had 3000 reads & 1587 PDF downloads.
Thank you all - we very much appreciate your support & interest in our work. ❤️
In case you missed it! 👇

I am reading what I would say is THE definitive Gef book by @ChrisJosiffe
Honestly, it's brilliant - and the perfect antidote to... well... 2023 tbh.
Highly recommended! 😊

@tess_machling What did you think of #ChristopherLloyd as #HarryPrice ?
Great film! Harry got off lightly😁 -
Not what you'd necessarily expect from #HarryPrice, but attendance at a Suffrage meeting in 1909 can't have been a bad thing...
Also, one of the few records we have of his wife Connie...
-
#HarryPrice, you so-and-so.
I've seen your coins. I've matched your coins...
...but you're oh-so-careful to say they're 'similar', and I also can't yet prove that you didn't have other coins that weren't lent to the church.
Arrrrrghhhh...I swear he will be the death of me! 🤣

Ok #HarryPrice, time to discover if you left us the last piece of the puzzle...
Senate House, here I come.

I've discovered that there's two files that could have all the info needed to come as close as we can to nailing #HarryPrice for the torc, short of finding his initials scratched on the terminal.
Won't know until I can get back into the archive though. Keep everything crossed...
-
It is *impossible* to do any #HarryPrice research without stumbling on these absolute gems...
Mole ramifications...🤣🤣🤣
-
Today is all about taking an in-depth look at #HarryPrice and 'those' coins...
-
Two books arrived yesterday - one I'd bought, one rescued for me by a friend...
Timing, eh? 😂😂
-
"Honestly, do this for me and I'll make you a star..."

Well! With everything I've been posting about #HarryPrice over the last couple of weeks, I guess I'm about to find out how thin the veil really is today!!!
😂😂😂👀👀👀😳😳

"Look! There I am! That tiny unrecognisable smudge at the back there, that's me!!"

This is pure speculation, but it's also very #HarryPrice. Sir Charles Read - (who later disavowed Harry) Pres. of Soc. Of Ants. & Brit. Mus. Curator - had a middle name he was known by: Hercules.
Harry was *desperate* to get in with SoA & BM.
Was "Hercules" figure coincidental?

When your #HarryPrice research world involves irate bus drivers electrifying their buses so a talking mongoose can't steal their sandwiches, you know you've really hit the jackpot!!😂

In case you're wondering why on earth I keep posting about #HarryPrice...
The research for this paper is what sent me down the Price rabbit hole....😂
-
We're not sure if Roman statuette ('found' by #HarryPrice in river bank at bottom of garden) is real (current thinking is not), but we're pretty sure base isn't!
But we don't know if Harry added the base before - or after - finding it.
'I saw its legs sticking out of the bank' suggests after...
