Mr. Bones

ROYAL AIR FORCE MILDENHALL, England -- Suffolk County Council Archaeologists found treasure while digging up ground for a new softball field at RAF Mildenhall, UK.

The dates for most of the finds are believed to be from the early Roman age (A.D. 43 - 410), but some items could fall into the Neolithic period- roughly 3500-2000 B.C. and still others into the Bronze (2000-700 B.C.) and Iron (700 B.C.- A.D. 43) Ages.
