We promised we'd be trying out some different viewpoints during the dig, and this next one is spectacular!
We've got hold of a pair of special sunglasses with a built-in camera for each eye, enabling a unique first person perspective on the dig. What's more, Hilde agreed to try them out for us. For many, this will be the closest you'll get to digging at Sutton Hoo!
We'll be trying this out more during the dig, so let us know what you think in the comments.

Who was really buried along with the ship in Mound One? How was such beautiful gold and garnet jewellery crafted? And why was the site located here in the first place? These are just some of the many tantalising questions that remain unanswe...
