The Scottish Detectorist
Searching Scotland for the stories beneath our feet.
Follow detecting adventures across historic fields and landscapes, uncovering coins, relics and artefacts from Scotland's past — with the occasional trip south of the border.
History discovered one signal at a time
Metal detecting and the history of Scotland are two of the passions behind The Scottish Detectorist.
Join the search across Scotland's fields for lost history and buried treasures, uncovering coins, relics and artefacts from Scotland's incredible past. From ancient farmland to historic landscapes, every signal has the potential to reveal another piece of the story.
There are also occasional detecting trips over the border into the countryside of England.
