Some of you might find this interesting... it got pulled from shelves in the 60s, and paper copies are decidedly rare, in the hundreds of dollars range.

General subject of metals... anyone know which programme is being referred to here?

It's not Time Team; that's Channel 4. I remember something similar to do with vertical mould swords that I think were iron/steel rather than bronze, but it's been a while... might've been this one:

Would be curious to see that again, or the BBC one if anyone has any ideas.

sweet ! Thanks big-D.
As for your TV show, sorry... visions of Tony Robinson scared me away from those kind of programs.
And fairly on-topic, for those people out there who still don't know how to make their own homemade bombs and drugs, the anarchists' cookbook is your one-stop 'be a terrorist or die trying' guide. I'm keeping my copy handy for that inevitable zombie invasion... ready to make loads and loads of drugs to get so high I won't even notice when they eat me alive...
...huh ? explosives ? what would I do with them ?
