  1. 74 years ago today, on 12th #November 1948, Ray Williamson was ploughing a field on the #KenHill Estate in #Snettisham & turned up these amazing #tubular #torcs - the first of many finds which uncovered at the site over the next 50 years.

    Tubular torcs like these are incredible - c.200mm in diameter & made of sheet #gold only 0.1mm thick, they each #weigh only c.110g (weight of a lemon or a small bar of galaxy #chocolate ).
