• Plot: Mackenzie Crook (pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) and Toby Jones (The Hunger Games) strike conedic gold in this critically adored series about two oddballs scoring the English countryside for treasure. If only their characters, Andy and Lance, could be so fortunate. These amateur metal detectorists have an unhealthy fixation on uncovering a fabled trove of buried Saxon loot. Unfortunately, the world on high-stakes metal detecting is surprisingly turbulent, as are their personal lives.; ; Andy's girlfriend, Becky (Rachael Stirling, The Bletchley Circle), is none too pleased about the amount of time he sinks into his fruitless hobby, and even less so when a female collegue enters the equation. Lance, meanwhile, is still hopelessly in love with his ex-wife-and finds several embarrassing ways to show it. But behind the most excrusiating moments lies a winning combination of warmth,eccentricity, and humaity that makes this comedy 'indispensable viewing' (The Guardian, UK) and 'one of the loveliest, most inventive things on TV all year' (Daily Mail,UK).; ; Season 1; Episode #1.1 S1, Ep1; 10 Feb. 2014 Episode #1.1; Andy and Lance are members of the small but dedicated Danbury Metal Detecting Club (DMDC), who search for buried treasure with metal detectors.

Actually Sophie has heard what they are doing but believes from her research that the Saxon hoard they want is in the next county. Lance meanwhile is anxious to reform his old folk duo with Andy so that he can perform a ...; ; Episode #1.3 S1, Ep3; 16 Oct. 2014 Episode #1.3; Andy and Lance perform at the open mike evening but Lance is upset that Maggie does not come to support him whilst Andy's insistence that his girlfriend Becky should not turn up to see him looking foolish leads to her believing he is having an affair with Sophie. They decide to tell Terry that they have permission to dig up Larry Bishop's land and, as an ex-policeman still determined to catch Larry for the suspected murder of his wife, he is happy to join them. Unfortunately the result is rather explosive.; ; Episode #1.4 S1, Ep4; 23 Oct. 2014 Episode #1.4; Hospitalized after unearthing the UXB Terry decides to retire as club president, nominating a reluctant Andy to succeed him. Next day Andy and Sophie find a gold coin on Bishop's land and share a chaste, celebratory kiss before the army arrives to declare the land out of bounds whilst they look for more bombs.

Sophie is however seen to be a traitor when it transpires that she is a former member of the Antiquisearchers and with the army declaring Larry's farm a free-for-all the group considers disbanding though Terry saves the day by withdrawing his resignation. Andy discovers that Becky...; ; Episode #1.6 S1, Ep6; 6 Nov. 2014 Episode #1.6; Lance learns that Maggie has known about his lottery win whilst Andy wins back Becky by selling his detecting equipment and promising to give up his activity.
