Welcome everyone to the second season of ‘Live from the CodeBar’ recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. I am your guide on this adventure, Rob. For this Second Season the CodeBar is pleased to announce a new partnership with the website Area’s Grey. Areas Grey is a travel blog for treasure hunters that features tips and reviews, treasure posts, a forum, dedicated research and hosted treasure hunts!

After a few months off to reset and refresh, I am pleased to announce that this season is going to be bigger and better than season one with more interviews with treasure hunt creators, more shows on codes and ciphers as well as a lot more amazing stories and shows.

This show is all about the legend of the Basing House Hoard. During the English Civil War the 300 room Basing House Mansion was constantly under siege from Parliamentarian forces, during this time did the Marquess of Winchester hide his gold on the property to stop it being seized, and is it still there to be found?
