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 麻豆社 Radio Solent that the human skull was one of the most significant finds of his career.
