I love this show , if you love history and the adventure of searching and discovering history both locally and beyond , this is the podcast for you
George and Paul have an infectious passion for all things history and welcome you warmly to come along for their expeditions
Truly a Great listen
Thankyou guys keep up the great work
These podcasts are so good, I find it hard to believe that two friends chatting about their interests and shared hobby of metal detecting could be so entertaining and informative. These guys nail it perfectly, so enthusiastic. Possibly the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to.
Such a fun and interesting show. I have learned so much and been completely entertained!
Genuinely my favourite podcast! George and Paul have such an infectious enthusiasm for the hobby you can’t help but feel the same excitement they feel hearing a signal and unearthing a…. button (Of corse in some instances Roman coins)! Keep up the awesome work both and as a wise man once said “very professional”
