Detectorists on the Detectorists

What happens when real metal detectorists watch the greatest TV show ever made about metal detecting?

Detectorists on the detectorists brings together some of the UK detecting community's most beloved voices to do exactly that. Watch, rewatch, and lovingly dissect the BAFTA-winning BBC series Detectorists, episode by episode.

Hosted by Katie from the Detecting History Podcast, each episode features a guest presenter from the real-world detecting community sharing their take on the show that captured the heart and soul of the hobby like nothing before or since.

Featuring guest presenters Emma (Instagram: @emloveoldstuff), Ross (Instagram: @detectorosst), Karl (Instagram: @thementaldetector), and Ellie (Instagram: @miss_detectorist and YouTube: Miss Detectorist).
