Maasvlakte2

Recently I found some pre-historic material on the Maasvlakte2 beach. This area has been created from  Northsea sand. This sand contains lots of (pre) historic material.
Sea-level 100.000 years ago was 50 - 100 meter below current sealevel; there was no Northsea. The Netherlands and Brittain were connected through Doggersland.

Nothing to do with radio, but not only radios are fascinating.
