Lost in Woods As kids we would often find scrap metal and occasionally coins. Unfortunately no one knew about the soho mint back then. So the elder (dumb) kids would say it’s just an Irish penny. Shame really. I plan on one day doing my own excavation or go round with a metal detector to see what I find. Here’s hoping for a treasure chest!
These videos helped keep my sanity during the Pandemic. With such a critical American election very near, they come to my rescue again. Even if they are low resolution versions. Hopefully one day Time Team Classics will have the whole series available at full resolution.
While Industrial Archaeology isn't my favorite thing, this episode is a beautiful example of surveying, document searching, keyhole digging, and recreating history. I love it (around 14:10) when Tony asks Stewart how he figured out the maps were wrong.... "ummm, surveying" - that is, I did the job the map maker's didn't do right.
I am watching all,episodes in reverse order. In the next episode, Mick has a broken leg. So, knowing that, while watching him scramble all over this site, my teeth are clenched and I want to yell, "Be Careful Mick!!!". Lol. R.I.P. Mick...
bringingtherukas It's so funny, there's no chance anybody would ever be so casual about it these days. Today, they'd have to shut down the dig and go through all kinds of health and safety measures. Here, the guy just says, "not sure what it is mate, just be careful." Lol I love it!
Hate to be a old head, but that was not a drone. Well, from the little we see it appears to be a remote controlled helicopter. Even the cheapest of drones fly themselves when they hover and such. You can't let go of the controller with this.

This is a hugely important site. James Watt’s steam engine is probably the most important invention of the industrial revolution because powered rotating shafts enable everything that follows and much of the modern world. A fascinating story of such an early version of steam power.
Probably cast in the Black Country, just up the road. The chains for the beam engine would have been made in Netherton. All local and custom made. Probably easier then than now
I've always been curious about the restoring process after the digging ends. Anyone know if there's video/info on the process of restoring those (oh so many) gardens?
Did mick break his leg on this dig because in the opening of the next episode tony says mick broke his leg looking for a well just curious if anyone knows

ok what accents was mick speaking? I think stewards is Yorkshire right? and Phil is some sort of westcountry? Essex? Is Robin Welsh? he talk like he was singing...lol
sue.. yes she is cute, but skinny and with the voice of a crack head, not to mention she doesnt seem to be the most intelligent of females... Carenza on the other hand.. knows how to use a shovel and is an intelligent woman and that my boy equals,,,,,,,, sexy lol. well at least to me..( i know her husband must agree)
If you watched the Maryland episode you will know her voice is perfectly ordinary. Her skill set is totally different from anyone else's - she's not a fool, she's a graphics specialist.
I read an article where they asked Carenza what happens after the third day and she said that there's always a 4th day where they fill the trenches and put the sod or paver stones back. If this were an american show, they'd leave on day 3 and the homeowner would be stuck with their back garden being destroyed.
This one disappoints me. We go from looking at a site where a man might have first rubbed two sticks together to looking for a building that was demolished just over one hundred years ago.
It's shocking how quickly this stuff disappears from the local culture which makes it just as important. I took kids from a Birmingham school to Soho House when I did my teaching practice, and despite growing up 10 miles away, and my great grandparents being local I knew nothing about any of it before the visit
Early steam engines, such as Watt & Bolton engines didn't use steam pressure, they condense the steam (at atmospheric pressure) and let the pressure differential push the piston down. It is the same principle as filling a metal drum with steam, sealing it, and spraying it with cold water to make it collapse.
@@WeirdHarold49 and that is how it was explained at the museum. that the hot steam cooled down and,create a vacuum.and that pulled down the piston. exactly the opposite for instance like in a steam loco. where the hot steam pushed up the piston, escaped. and at the other end again hot steam pushed down the piston. moving the driving rods and the wheels...

Interesting the way they switch between feet, yards and meters - an archaeological clue that precisely dates this show. And Sue Francis...woah!
Love that Time Teen gives information, visuals of so many different times during the development of Great Britain
Anita (hope I spelled her name correctly) and her curry are the real stars of this episode!
Original airdate of this episode was 19 January 1997 - At 11:16 they use a new invention: the remote controlled "heli-camera".
I laughed when they called that 🤣🤣 The ancestor of today's drones! Things have really changed since then.

I just adore Stewart! He seems to be very laid back, but he will fight for his beliefs.
I love seeing Tony with the children. You can tell he was a good dad, imo.
Those two kids were beautiful. Such lovely eyes.
How great. So, what's going on at your home today?

the fireman says to be careful and not make any sparks, then phil smacks it with a shovel, classic

did you ever spot Robinson wearing a hard hat over a baseball cap? like a pleb.
He wore double hats a couple of episodes ago. Possibly on purpose due to his comedy history?
Yes, but he was smacking clay with a shovel. That won't spark!
I was not aware of Carenza Lewis’ terrible medical tragedy until today.
So sad and scary. A misdiagnosis by an idiot doctor led her to getting a double mastectomy. 🤬

That early drone was a bit hilarious. lol 😆

So they found a Bucket. Was it a Richard or a Hyacinth, or possibly a Sheridan? RIP Clive Swift.
@Rosida Andriyana I have my doubts on that one :-)
Its so refreshing to see a crowd of onlookers who aren't filming everything on their smartphones. Ah the old days....
Don't cause any sparks, so he starts banging clay into the fuel tank with a shovel lol
Pity they don't explain how they made a 210ft long cast iron shaft in the 1700s - that would take some serious engineering even today....
probably a wrought iron shaft made in sections and bolted together
I would bet it's just extruded rods, and not a shaft that we would think of today.
Probably cast in the Black Country, just up the road. The chains for the beam engine would have been made in Netherton. All local and custom made. Probably easier then than now

Dangerous Time Team Drinking Game: drink a shot every time they say "geophysics." Two shots if they shorten it to "geophys."
what can happen when you already drunk
Time Team should come up with a drink called the Geo Fizz.
Phil, you were and still are such a handsome MANLY man!! And, smart as a whip, to boot.😊
when you see that smaller version of that engine working,it really gives you some idea of what it was like,albeit a lot bigger works..
I've been working my way backwards from S 20, and I think this may be the first episode where I heard Sue's voice
wow, that has gotta be one of the first commercial helicopter drones with a camera
tbh, I'd have thought they'd just cellotaped a camera to a drone back then
I wonder if they had to get permission from the Gub'ment to run it.
I thought it was a small drone, about the size of someones head...? Maybe I'm wrong?
That's what I was thinking when I saw it.
"Exciting cleaning up trash in a garden music intensifies!*
Avoid making sparks.... Phil whacks it with a shovel
Wow 1st episode I have seen without comments about Mick 's sweaters, Tony's hair or Phil's hat. Lol
I thought that, well, until I read your comment!

i wish Tony had kept the earring and glasses, today he would look like Mr. Smee from Hook
Excavating a petrol station, that’s a first for Time Team. Would have loved to see a picture and know the brand.

Didn't know that feature, amazing! Thank you!!
So why all the petrol tanks? Did there used to be a gas station there?
No mention of the removal of the fuel tank for the one next door. Did they just leave then and back fill?
wonder indeed what the fire department was thinking and doing? two old petrol tanks and a gas main. excitement here we come!
A mint, but not in mint condition?
Stewart thought crossing the wooden bridge planks they were in Antarctica 5555 wholly balls ...
Hope the local authorities removed those petrol tanks before the refill. Especially since they have contents and leaks.
Probably not. Removing them is extremely difficult and contaminates the ground. Easier just to leave them
Love to see a model steam engine! Look up Keith Appleton's channel for more on those...
Just imagine what they could have seen and interpreted with modern drone technology
ok what accents was mick speaking? I think stewards is Yorkshire right? and Phil is some sort of westcountry? Essex? Is Robin Welsh? he talk like he was singing...lol
