A search for history across land and shore
The Spanish Detectorist combines a love of metal detecting with a search for history and treasure across the British Isles.
Born in Galicia, Spain, and now living in Scotland, the channel follows detecting adventures through historic fields, festivals and beaches — including the ongoing hunt for treasures connected to stories of Francis Drake and centuries of history.
From field detecting to beach searches, every outing is another chance to uncover something that has been hidden for generations.
