| A blade found by Jon in the outer courtyard. Jon continues to top the finds chart, having also found the potato gun on day 1. |
Find of the day: plaster building material from the outer courtyard
 |
| Plaster was a common building material used in the Tudor period, so it is likely that this find predates the conversion of the long gallery into cottages in the 19th century. Note the graffiti (probably 19th century) scratched into the find, including a name, 'BOB'. |
It is Jon not Tom
