(Part 2 is on its way!)

This is the first part of our special episode in Holland, meeting and detecting with two amazing guys who discovered the Bunnik hoard.

Autumn 2023. The ancient Roman limes.

Gert-Jan and Reinier were detecting a field they’d had their eyes on for quite some time - with good reason.

One stater became two, became handfuls and handfuls of Roman aurei, denarii, and intriguingly, British Iron-Age staters of Cunobelin. It all sounded a bit familiar so we thought we better make a trip over to Holland to visit them and hear the incredible story.

THANKYOU for being amazing hosts Gert-Jan and Reinier.

And THANKYOU Anton - the archaeologist who helped unearth the hoard.

Fresh from their trip abroad to record a very special episode in Holland (still to be released - keep an eye out), the boys are back on some of their favourite land.

When you find something cool deep in the mud you’re not just discovering the lost item itself, you’re unearthing stories and mysteries. And then, occasionally, you dig up memories as well.

When the boys hit a field that George hasn’t been to since discovering a second hoard of Roman silver, buried by an Iron Age Briton in response to the Roman invasion, all three possibilities combine.

And, despite discovering several finds of a lifetime in this very field, for George, it’s an unassuming find that suddenly brings it all flooding back.

Autumn seems to have skipped Suffolk and Winter has already arrived. Despite that, the boys brave it. The wind howls, the clay clings, and just as they're about to call it a day and head for the pub, something gleaming roars through the mud.

George takes Paul to a secret spot in the Fynn Valley where, in 1938, a huge hoard of late Roman coins was unearthed, treasure buried at the very moment the Empire was collapsing into chaos.

The glorious River Fynn is a picture-postcard part of the Suffolk landscape, but also hides dark and mysterious past — one marked by ancient mutilations and whispered legends.

So when the opportunity arises to investigate a freshly dredged stretch of the river, the boys can’t resist. What begins as a simple search for history soon takes a chilling turn — revealing something ghostly, unexpected, and utterly unique beneath the surface.

Something weird is happening in a field in Suffolk.

6 years ago George unearthed The Helmingham Hoard - the largest Claudian era hoard of gold and silver coins ever discovered.

Then, almost to the day, 5 years later, the boys recorded episode 1 and discovered another gold stater.

And then, another year later, George discovers yet more Iron Age gold. Same day, same field.

This calls for a very special anniversary episode of your favourite podcast about hunting for history...

With never-before-heard stories, fresh revelations, and plenty of laughs along the way — this golden anniversary episode is one for the ages.

Same time next year?

After discovering records of a long-lost Medieval market, the boys fire up the Landy and head to a remote field that could hold the key.

But as the landscape’s peculiar features, and a trove of fascinating finds, start to reveal themselves, it soon becomes clear this isn’t just any old trading post, and the last few finds of the day confirm it and cap off their most incredible day in the field since discovering gold in Episode 1…

Following the remarkable discovery of a Bronze Age axe, the boys return to a previously untouched area of the beanstalk field to see what other evidence of historical everyday life they can unearth.

It's also the anniversary of George's greatest discovery - the Helmingham Hoard.

So what better way is there to celebrate than getting back out on a newly turned field, Suffolk rolling away around them, digging up old stuff with a story to tell, and a pint at the end (and the beginning) of the day?

Exactly. There is no better way to celebrate...

When Paul comes across the incredible story of a legendary lost Roman ring and a hoard of Roman glass that was discovered in the 1500’s, the boys put two and two together to reach a staggering conclusion.

Off they trundle, detectors packed and hopes of discovering something incredible (and that they got their maths right) high.

When Paul goes solo, testing out a new field, he unexpectedly discovers something extraordinary.

He doesn't know exactly what it is but he knows someone who will.

Up goes the bat signal, George responds, and what follows is the most epic discovery since episode 1 and the Iron Age gold...
