Listened to the Dapper Dectectorist interview and it was so interesting. Love learning about starting out detecting and great advice.
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
A really interesting listen, getting to know some of the names and faces from the detectorist community, and finding out more about the objects that fascinate us! 🙌🏼
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
A lot of the other British/Irish based MD podcasts have disappeared, and so it’s good to see a new one appear. Good show, well presented and produced, excellent guests.
