A new Roman adventure begins! Join Miss Detectorist UK as coins fall from the earth along an ancient Roman road—now a quiet Wiltshire farm field. What starts as a routine dig turns into an extraordinary metal detecting day: a haul of 25 Roman coins and two incredible artefacts, including a beautiful bronze snake ring that hasn’t seen the light of day for nearly 2,000 years. 

Step into the past with Miss Detectorist and her detecting buddy as they trace the footsteps of Roman Britain, uncovering stories buried beneath the soil. From the first signal to the last astonishing find, this is one detecting adventure Miss D will remember.

Along those lines, the UK series, “Detectorists” is both humorous and endearing.

It is interesting that a Brit could walk in the back garden where a Roman might have walked.   I suppose that might equate to a pre-columbian Indian walked in our backyard.

Description

Hello! I’m Miss Detectorist UK - searcher of objects, artist and filmmaker - exploring ancient British landscapes with my detector 🇬🇧 For detectorists, wilderness lovers, and anyone fascinated by Roman life, British history, and archaeology.

If you find something of value, keep your mouth shut. If not the government will be coming around either for a cut or just seize it all.
