The Big Dig (2) - Wolverhampton, Barnet, Oakamoor

3 locations are visited for a preliminary examination, with all 3 vying to be chosen for a full dig later in the series. Tony also visits Bill Wyman's garden in Suffolk, and talks to the Rolling Stones' bassist, himself a keen amateur archaeologist, about the history of the property. Together, they do a test dig, which unearths tool flakes from the Stone Age. They also uncover bricks and tiles from the Tudor period, confirming Bill's expectation that a building had once stood on that part of the property, based on an 1840 tithe map of the area.
