18th-Century Maps and an Ancient Fossil Forest

Ishy and Hettie cruise Shropshire and north Wales in their fancy Porsche, digging up antiques and a 300-million-year-old secret. But will their finds fire up bidders at auction?

At the midpoint of their antiques battle, experts Ishy Khan and Hettie Jago are tootling around Shropshire and north Wales in their impeccably cool 1968 Porsche 912. With treasure on their minds, our pair unearth such finds as a carved Indian smoking cabinet, a couple of original 18th-century maps and a rather posh egg cup. And the digging doesn’t stop there. The pair explore part of Wales’s industrial heritage, where an even older secret has remained hidden for 300 million years. But at the auction, can their slightly more modern purchases spark any bidder interest?
