The Land Rovers Podcast

A podcast about hunting for history, lost treasure and ordinary people discovering extraordinary objects.
When it comes to unearthing history George Ridgway and Paul Jacobs have the pedigree. Well, George does.He discovered Britain's largest Claudian hoard stuffed full of gold and silver Iron Age and Roman coins.Paul found some rusty nails and a podcasting buddy.
Join them as they bomb around the Suffolk countryside in a classic Land Rover, unravelling the secrets of the landscape and unearthing the history beneath their feet.But this is more than just treasure hunting.It’s a podcast about friendship and finding peace in the landscape, about understanding our place in time, about patience, optimism, and the power of a pint after a day in our gorgeous countryside.
But if you want a simple way to describe it: it's 2 mates, passionate about history, bombing around in a battered old Landy, trying to understand the landscape they love.
