The Localist in England - S2E2: The detectorists

Matt Marvel delves deeper into the world of metal detecting with 13-year-old Mille, who on her first time out with her Dad stumbled across an axe hoard and Luke, who finds £100,000 of gold coins.

If you are planning on going out metal detecting, you must observe the law and seek permission from the landowner. There’s an unlimited fine or up to three months in prison for not reporting treasure. You can find more information on www.gov.uk/treasure.
