There Ed Caswell helped identify the archaeological finds and offered expert insight into what they might be.

A spokesperson for the Witney and District Museum said: "The surgery was well attended.

Other objects to be brought in included some Jetons, an alternative form of currency used between the 13th and 18th centuries, and a glass object from a lady called Gill which no-one could identify and was found between two buildings.
Witney and District Museum is on the town's high street and is free to enter.
Its next event is a Bell History Tour of St Mary's Church in Witney, offering a chance to see the insides of the six-century old bell tower.
This is on Sunday, October 19, and must be booked in advance.
