A great podcast with interviews with a wide cross section of people from the detecting community about their detecting experiences. Great tips for others in the hobby, nice stories, exciting finds and good banter, plus bonus programmes on the perfect detecting day. A very good listen

Loving this podcast. As a new detectorist it’s giving me good tips and also showing that we are all learning all the time. Love it

Smart, succinct, and well produced. I look forward to many more episodes to come.
