Ruth is reluctant to jump the gun and Jazzer is over the moon

Jazzer tries to get Alistair to try some of his home brew again; now he’s perfected the recipe. Tipsily they discover a winning scratchcard amongst the laundry. As Jazzer imagines the possibilities, Alistair encourages him to find the rightful owner. But Jazzer’s not up for wasting his time doing that. He’s convinced himself the card was his and he’d forgotten he’d bought it. He intends to spend the money on motorbike leathers.
Ben’s excited about the Brookfield coin find. He’s posted a picture online. Freddie teases him about his love life, notably Evie the archaeology student, who he believes is the main draw for Ben in all of this. In turn Ben attempts to turn the chat to Elizabeth’s dating adventures, but Freddie won’t be drawn on his mum. Ben persuades his reluctant friend to join him on a fieldwalk, though Freddie wants a cut of anything else they find.
Ruth is less than impressed with the notion of a fieldwalk. It would be very disruptive; they should be drilling grass seed on those fields, not digging trenches. They can plan it for next year. Ben pledges to get things moving before then. Later he reports the coins have been identified as Anglo-Saxon. This excites Ruth and she acknowledges it changes things. She points out to Ben that he can’t spread this news; it needs to be kept in the family for now. Ben doesn’t come clean and denies telling anyone outside of their household.
