A 15-year-old from Poole recently discovered a 1500-year-old human skull when out mudlarking and treasure hunting. Tom, who describes himself as a 'mudlark, crafter and general treasure seeker' on his Instagram account, caused something of a stir with this find, with the police initially having to investigate the find, in the River Stour near Sturminster Marshall. Tom told Âé¶¹Éç Radio Solent that the human skull was one of the most significant finds of his career.
