549 - THIRD

Barry had the unusual method of locating buried artefacts using a TRIpod with a theodolite on top. A couple of years ago he did have a flirt with the idea of using a drone instead but felt it was too risky and expensive. By applying every trick he knew, Barry was able to locate a really valuable ancient jewel-encrusted sword on the third attempt at that site. But getting the sword out of the stone proved too difficult for Barry so he covered it over and informed the local historical society of his findings. One of its members, a Mr Lancelot, knew where the secret catch was to release it and it now took pride of place in the local museum.
