Dan and the team unearth a Browning machine gun

In Donegal, a major excavation reveals the 70-year-old Spitfire flown by US pilot Bud Wolfe, who was forced to bail out just minutes after leaving RAF Eglington, now City of Derry Airport. After just five minutes of excavation, Dan and the team find a Browning machine gun dating back to 1941. Live ammunition is also uncovered so the army have to be called in to deactivate the guns.
