The underwater archaeologist reveals Durham's past

For hundreds of years, a treasure has accumulated under the silt beneath the Elvet Bridge in Durham.

Underwater archaeologist Gary Bankhead discovered everyday objects in the Wear River.

He has the special permission to voluntarily dive into the river to discover a vision of the city's past.

Over the past decade, he has discovered more than 12,000 valuables he donated to the Durham people.
