"Wading for Treasures" with Jane Eastman

Thanks to everyone who came to the premiere of "Wading for Treasures" featuring Jane Eastman @myordinarytreasure, who takes us on a trip to some of her favorite rivers in England, where she finds treasures buried in the silt of the riverbed for centuries. She also shows some of her favorite pieces in her collection, sharing information about where they came from originally and a bit of their history.

Jane Eastman

Jane’s love of treasure hunting began as a child finding old bottles and fossils along the field edges of the Hampshire countryside where she grew up. After graduating in Fine Art, she has worked in various analytical and creative roles, and her latest goal in life is to find a complete seventeenth-century onion bottle in a river. Find her on Instagram @myordinarytreasure.
