Detecting History Podcast

This week's episode is a special one as its the 100th one! Our guest is very special too....! Actor Kenneth Collard, known to this community as the Mayor from the BBC series The Detectorists, and to a wider audience from Cuckoo, House of the Dragon, The Capture and most recently Beyond Paradise. But Kenneth has been a detectorist since the early 1980s, long before any of those credits, starting out with a basic C-scope in the forests of Germany and chasing that coin-shaped thrill ever since.During lockdown, Kenneth picked up his Equinox 800 and turned to the Thames foreshore, barely getting his PLA permit before the system closed. He has been learning to read the foreshore ever since, mentored by experienced mudlarks and working alongside his now great friend Carrie from Carry On Larkin.In this episode Kenneth talks about filming The Detectorists alongside Mackenzie Crook, the tobacco pipe bowl depicting an African man that was displayed in the Museum of London Docklands Secrets of the Thames exhibition alongside a cowry shell Kenneth found at the same moment, and his all-time top find, which has nothing to do with history and everything to do with being in the right place at the right time.He also shares his plans to develop a mudlarking TV show, talks about the Spanish Ardite minted in Barcelona for a child king and a Peruvian silver two reals found on the same stretch of foreshore, and signs off with one of the most genuinely motivating closers this podcast has had.Watch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on YouTube at youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannel | Find Detecting History on Instagram and YouTube at @detectinghistorychannel | Use code DHPodcast at Regton.com for 10% off some items.Hit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

Darren Searle and Rod from Gloucestershire Detectorists join Katie to tell the story of two finds that most detectorists will never experience in a lifetime of searching.The first: a scattered Roman hoard where both Darren and Rod's very first signals on a brand new field turned out to be Roman coins. What followed was multiple return visits, over 400 coins recovered, a Roman silver ring and a Roman lead seal found by Rod that was nearly discarded as scrap and turned out to be unique in Britain.The second: a hammered scattered hoard on a farm where the landowner had been openly sceptical about the hobby. The find included quarter nobles and half nobles, and eventually 26 hammered coins recovered over several visits. That one went to auction and found a home with an American historian who supports archaeological digs in the UK.Darren also talks through their Minelab Manticore setup, the moment the Manticore picked up a deep gold hammered coin that the Nox 600 couldn't reach, how their relationship with their FLO made the Treasure Act process far smoother than most, and what is still on the bucket list including a gold stater and a gold Roman.Watch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on Friday on YouTube at youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannel | Find Detecting History on Instagram and YouTube at @detectinghistorychannel | Use code DHPodcast at regton.com for 10% off some items.Hit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

Jamie and Erin from Bottles from the Deep join Katie to talk about loch larking, their unique hobby of snorkeling in Scottish lochs to find Victorian bottles, ceramics and all sorts of historical treasures.Jamie shares the story of finding a rare WWII Colt Commando revolver in a loch, discovering a scattered medieval coin hoard whilst metal detecting dating to around 1307 with coins from Alexander III, John Balliol and Edward I, and a secret Bronze Age hoard found just one week earlier. Erin talks about their favourite finds including Codd marble bottles, Staffordshire Flow Blue ceramics, cocaine-infused Victorian wine bottles and why every loch in Scotland seems to have a teapot in it.They also cover how they research new lochs using the National Library of Scotland maps, LiDAR and old fishing spots, plus Jamie's journey into metal detecting with his Minelab Equinox 600.

What's been happening in the world of UK metal detecting in 2026? In this solo episode, Katie rounds up the biggest stories so far this year and announces the Detecting History 100th episode giveaway competition.First up, the Melsonby Hoard goes on public display at the Yorkshire Museum from 15 May. Over 800 Iron Age objects including the first evidence of four-wheeled wagons in Britain. Then we look at the Portable Antiquities Scheme's record-breaking year with over 79,000 finds recorded, and why your local Finds Liaison Officer needs your support more than ever.We also cover the Great Baddow Hoard, 933 Iron Age gold coins now secured for the Museum of Chelmsford, but with a cautionary tale about what happens when you detect without permission. That leads into the rise of nighthawking, with Humberside Police reporting increased illegal detecting on protected land.On the brighter side, the Chew Valley Hoard's incredible journey from field to national tour shows the system working as it should. And a father and son's Anglo-Saxon find in Lincolnshire has inspired an entire jewellery collection.Plus, Katie announces the 100th episode giveaway with prizes from Regton, The Etching Booth, Composite Cleaning Company, and S&D Detectorist.ENTER THE COMPETITION Go to @detectinghistorychannel on Instagram, like the competition post, share it on your stories, comment "100" and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

UK metal detecting podcast. This week Katie is joined by Lewis from lewis_detects on Instagram, an Oxfordshire-based detectorist with seven years of experience finding hammered coins, Roman artefacts and medieval silver across the fields of southern England.Lewis talks through his best metal detecting finds: a Roman brooch, a cut half Stephen penny, and a 1636 Charles I shilling found at a historical drama film set, found next to an ancient tree on a brilliant signal. He also shares how he runs his Deus metal detector completely screen-free on tones only, and why he always chooses ploughed fields over pasture.Topics covered include how to get metal detecting permissions from landowners, using LiDAR for research, the PAS database at finds.org, the National Library of Scotland side-by-side maps with GPS, and the pros and cons of club digs versus solo permissions.Lewis's bucket list: Gold, Roman gold, and a complete Saxon penny.Katie also announces a giveaway for the 100th episode with prizes from Regton, The Etching Booth, Swing and Dig Detectorist and Composite Cleaning Pencil.Watch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on YouTube at youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannel | Find Detecting History on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube at @detectinghistorychannel | Use code DHPodcast at regton.com for 10% off some items.Hit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

This week Katie sits down with Sam Willoughby, known on Instagram as the_peaky_larker, a Kent-based mudlarker, metal detectorist and self-described archaeo-detectorist who bridges both worlds with the kind of knowledge and ethics that makes you want to get outside immediately.Sam shares how furlough in 2020 sent him to the banks of the Medway and eventually onto the Thames foreshore itself, where he waited 18 months for his Port of London Authority permit. He talks about upgrading from a Garrett ACE 150 to the Minelab Xterra Pro, why a 6-inch coil is non-negotiable on the foreshore, and how he became the only detectorist on an active Roman site in an elderly couple's back garden that has now yielded around 30 Roman coins.There are finds too. A late Tudor buckle dug from a new permission while still recovering from a cold. A minuscule Hudson's Bay Company trade bead, red and black, manufactured in Britain and traded with indigenous peoples in North America for fur pelts. And one weird discovery that turned out to be a Victorian bedpan with a hospital crest, which Sam very wisely gave to a friend.The conversation also covers the Dove's typeface mystery, the ethics of mudlarking on the foreshore, Thames Explorer Trust exhibitions, and a farmer near Richborough Roman Fort who took matters into his own hands with a bucket of copper nails.Find Sam on Instagram at @peakylarkerWatch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on YouTube at youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannel | Find Detecting History on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube at @detectinghistorychannel | Use code DHPodcast at regton.com for 10% off some items.Hit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

Emma Youell (https://www.instagram.com/emloveoldstuff/) is back, and she has had quite a couple of years.Since her last appearance on the podcast, Emma has ticked off not one but two items from her detecting bucket list finding two Iron Age quarter staters and a potent within just a couple of months. Three Celtic coins. Extraordinary.But that's just the start. Emma has been quietly doing some of the most important work in the hobby right now, creating video content for the National Council for Metal Detecting, including a film about Scottish treasure law and a deep dive into the brand new NCMD app. She shares the incredible story of how one detectorist used that app to track his Roman finds across a map... and accidentally discovered an entire hidden Roman road.Emma also opens up about her work as a PAS self-recorder, her ongoing involvement with Time Team (including an upcoming dig at a Roman site in Brancaster, Norfolk), and how she found out her animations were going to appear on a Channel 4 show via a phone call received while standing in a Lincolnshire field mid-dig.Plus her Kent Women in Business award win, her obsession with the musical Epic, and a round of Would You Rather that gets surprisingly philosophical.Watch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on YouTube at youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannel.

This week Katie is joined by Wayne May, the Canadian detectorist behind the hugely popular YouTube channel Treasure Earth, which has amassed over 44,000 subscribers since Wayne relaunched it in 2022. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Wayne has deep roots in Hampshire and Wiltshire, and that connection to English soil has shaped him into one of the most well-travelled detectorists in the community.In this episode Wayne shares his origin story, from a Radio Shack detector turning up in a neighbour's yard in 1979, to a gold ring find in the 90s that sealed his fate, to rediscovering the hobby with an XP Deus 1 in British Columbia around 2010 and never looking back.Wayne talks through what it feels like as a Canadian to pull an Edward I hammered coin from a Hampshire field, why the Roman occupation of Britain fascinates him above all other eras, and how his second cousin Margaret Hawks was part of the original Time Team. He also opens up about detecting logistics across borders, travelling with the Deus 2 through Philippine airport security, building 3D printed cases for his kit, and the very different challenges of detecting in bear country.They also cover the realities of a six month detecting season in Calgary, the freedom Canadians enjoy on public land compared to the UK permissions system, the playground cleanup initiative that spread to 3,000 sites across Canada, and Wayne's use of AI to imagine the stories behind the finds he digs up.Plus, Wayne reveals his plans to return to England in August, a Portugal trip in the pipeline, and the channels he rates most in the detecting community right now.A genuinely warm conversation between two detectorists who might just end up in the same Hampshire field before the year is out.Find Wayne at https://www.youtube.com/@treasurearth and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/treasurearth.earth/ and TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@treasure.earthWatch the full interview version of this episode from 6:30pm on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@detectinghistorychannelFind Detecting History on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube at @detectinghistorychannelUse code DHPodcast at regton.com for 10% off your metal detecting order.Hit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

This week on the Detecting History Podcast, host Katie MacDoyle is joined by Raymond Berry from the YouTube channel Adventures in Finding Stuff.Raymond is a passionate finder of lost history whose hobbies stretch far beyond metal detecting. From mudlarking on the River Thames to magnet fishing, Victorian bottle digging and uncovering strange artefacts in the woods, Raymond and his friends are constantly exploring new ways to rediscover the past.In this fascinating conversation, Raymond shares how growing up in East London first sparked his love of treasure hunting, discovering coins along the Thames and exploring wartime bomb sites as a child. That early curiosity eventually grew into a lifelong passion for finding objects and uncovering the stories behind them.The episode explores the different ways people search for history today, from mudlarking and metal detecting to bottle digging and magnet fishing. Raymond also discusses how his YouTube channel began, why he prefers variety over chasing the algorithm, and why the real reward of these hobbies is the peace, freedom and sense of adventure they bring.Along the way, Raymond shares some remarkable finds and stories, including:• The discovery of a mysterious “voodoo doll” in woodland once used by a 1970s witch coven• Mudlarking finds from the River Thames including historic clay pipes• A Napoleonic era artefact linked to the King’s German Legion• A First World War bayonet recovered from former hospital land• Strange experiences from paranormal investigations in historic buildingsRaymond also gives practical advice for anyone looking to start metal detecting or finding their own local history, including tips on gaining land permission, researching locations, and why many great discoveries happen far away from farmland.Whether you are a detectorist, mudlark, history enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys stories of lost objects and the past they reveal, this episode is packed with insight, humour and fascinating discoveries.Find Raymonds YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@adventuresinfindingstuff10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorychannel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryChannel/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorychannelYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

This midweek episode focuses on events in British history that fall between the 20th and 25th of February.We begin with the coronation of Edward VI in 1547, a nine-year-old king whose Protestant regents pushed England through its most radical religious transformation. Churches changed, rituals disappeared and devotional objects were removed, hidden or destroyed.We then move to 1570, when Elizabeth I was formally excommunicated by Pope Pius V. The decision intensified religious division, strengthened state surveillance and forced Catholic worship underground.Finally, we step into the lived reality of late winter Britain. February marked the hungry gap, when food ran low, labourers moved for work, militias prepared for spring campaigns and markets shaped daily survival. These movements explain why coins, clothing fasteners, trade items and devotional artefacts are still found in the soil today.This is the story of Tudor power, religious change and the everyday lives beneath it.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorychannel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryChannel/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorychannelYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this episode of the Detecting History Podcast, I’m joined by John MacEachen, better known as the Scottish Detectorist. With tens of thousands of YouTube subscribers and millions of views, John has become one of the most recognisable and respected voices in the detecting community.We explore how he first got into metal detecting, the machines he’s used across 26 years in the hobby, and how technology has transformed the way we search and record history. John shares insights into filming detecting content for YouTube, improving audio and visual quality, and the realities behind running a successful detecting channel.We also dive into some of his most memorable finds, from Bronze Age axe heads and Roman material to Scottish coinage and deeply personal artefacts that connect directly to people of the past. The conversation highlights why detecting is about far more than coins, it’s about stories, context and human connection.A key part of the discussion focuses on the differences between detecting in Scotland and England, including Treasure Trove, reporting responsibilities, and why responsible detecting matters more than ever. John also offers practical advice for beginners on choosing the right machine, gaining permissions, perseverance in the field, and starting a detecting YouTube channel.Whether you’re new to the hobby or have years behind the coil, this episode is a brilliant look at the mindset, discipline and passion behind successful metal detecting and content creation.The Scottish Detectorist YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@thescottishdetectorist10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryChannel/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorychannelYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

This week’s midweek episode explores the deeper history of Valentine’s Day in Britain, long before cards, chocolates and commercial traditions took hold.We start with the origins of Saint Valentine, the Christian martyr whose execution on 14 February shaped the feast day, and trace how the meaning evolved through the Middle Ages. By the time of Chaucer and the Tudor court, Valentine’s Day had become tied to courtship, symbolism, alliances and royal culture, with jewellery, posy rings and personal tokens exchanged as part of carefully staged rituals of affection and status.These are exactly the kinds of personal objects that sometimes survive in the soil and end up rediscovered centuries later by metal detectorists.The episode then turns to the other side of 14 February in British history, the death of Captain James Cook in 1779. From his beginnings on Whitby coal ships to his voyages with HMS Resolution and his role in charting the Pacific, Cook’s life represents both scientific exploration and the expansion of empire.His death in Hawaii highlights the tensions, misunderstandings and cultural collisions that often accompanied exploration, and the complex legacy he left behind.Together, these two stories show how a single date can hold multiple meanings in British history: love and power, exploration and conflict, personal objects and global movement — all leaving traces that still shape what ends up in the ground today.Happy Valentines! 10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryChannel/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorychannelYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Steve Price, known on Instagram as the Dapper Detectorist, for a brilliant chat about finds, fieldcraft and why metal detecting is as much about mindset as it is about machines.Steve shares the story of his stunning medieval gold finger ring discovery, the long treasure process that followed, and what it felt like to finally have it returned. We also talk Roman artefacts, Celtic coins, gold finds, and the personal items that really bring the past to life.We get into detectors too: Minelab vs XP, learning tones, working different land types, and why understanding your machine matters more than chasing numbers on the screen.There’s honest discussion around permissions, group digs vs solo detecting, beginner mistakes, and the mental benefits of getting out into the fields and switching off from everyday life.If you’re new to detecting, thinking about starting, or just love hearing real stories from the ground, this one’s for you.Stay lucky, and just keep digging.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFind Steve on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_dapper_detectorist/Watch the interviews here: Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryChannelTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorychannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this midweek episode, we step back into two pivotal February moments that reshaped power in England.First, we return to early February 1014 and the sudden death of Viking king Sweyn Forkbeard, a moment that briefly restored Anglo-Saxon rule and exposed how fragile kingship was in early medieval England.Then we move forward to 8 February 1587 and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots — one of the most dramatic and politically charged events in royal history, where Elizabeth I authorised the death of another monarch and sent shockwaves across Britain and Europe.From Viking conquest and shifting loyalties to Tudor intrigue, religion and royal power, this episode explores how two very different moments reveal the same truth: the English crown has never been secure for long.We also connect both periods to the material culture left behind — Anglo-Scandinavian coins and stycas, and Tudor artefacts tied to identity, propaganda and belief.Two centuries apart. One theme: power, legitimacy and survival.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorypodcastYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryChannelHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

This week I’m joined by Tom and Matt, the creators of the Detector Maps app, calling in from Queensland, Australia (while I’m in the UK with my steak dinner).We get into how their backgrounds in mineral exploration and gold prospecting shaped the app, what it’s like detecting in remote Aussie conditions (40°C heat, and long drives), and how that “field-first” thinking has turned into a seriously useful tool for UK detectorists.In this episode we cover• How Tom got started using detectors for mineral exploration and then found his own gold using a Minelab GPX 4500• Why early mornings can mean quieter, more stable detecting (and more nuggets)• The core Detector Maps features UK detectorists are loving: old maps, LiDAR, offline maps, tracking, and layers in one place• PAS integration: how the Portable Antiquities Scheme dataset is handled, categorised, and linked back to records• Filtering PAS finds by material and period, plus the “no finds” heatmap concept• Property boundaries and using Inspire IDs to help identify landowners for permissions• NDVI explained: crop stress mapping and how it can reveal archaeology that doesn’t show in satellite or even LiDAR• Listener Q&A: PAS data onboarding, and why LiDAR coverage varies in Australia’s Victorian High Country• What’s next: Academy/user guides, stability upgrades, new regions (Canada), and some “top secret” features in the pipeline• A feature request I’d love: drawing a line or boundary with an alert if I drift off track while detectingFollow Detector MapsFacebook and Instagram: Detector MapsEmail: [email protected] the podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow the Detecting History Podcast so you never miss a release, and leave a review on your podcast app. It massively helps new listeners find the show.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorypodcastWatch the Interview on our Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryPodcastHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this mini midweek episode of the Detecting History Podcast, we mark 1 February 1707, the day the English Parliament formally ratified the Act of Union under the reign of Queen Anne.This moment did not yet create Great Britain, that would come later on 1 May 1707, but it was the point at which the union became irreversible. England and Scotland were now locked into a shared political, financial and military future at a time when Britain was under enormous pressure from war, debt and the rising cost of empire.We explore why the Act of Union mattered so deeply in 1707, including Britain’s involvement in the War of the Spanish Succession, the growing power of Parliament, and the tightening control over silver, taxation and money supply. These pressures shaped not only the future of the country, but the coinage of Queen Anne herself.For metal detectorists, Queen Anne coins sit high on many bucket lists, yet even experienced searchers rarely find them. In this episode we explain why. Anne’s coinage was well struck, high quality, heavily regulated and extremely valuable. Silver was strategic, carefully controlled, rarely lost, and after her death much of it was systematically melted down and restruck to fund war and empire.More than 300 years later, detectorists still feel the impact of those decisions every time they search a field and come up empty handed. It isn’t bad luck. It’s history.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorypodcastYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryPodcastHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

What happens when a “last walk back to the car” turns into a metal detecting day you will never forget?In this episode of the Detecting History Podcast, I am joined by Chris Phillips and Paul Gould, the detectorists behind one of the most talked-about UK finds this year: an Anglo-Saxon gold ring and a stunning gold eagle-head mount (initially thought to be a raven), revealed through the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) annual event last week and showcased at a British Museum event.We break down the story from start to finish: the club dig with 9th Region Metal Detecting Club, the exact moment each signal hit, what the finds looked like in the ground, and how the day unfolded once it was clear this was Treasure. Chris and Paul also share what happens next, including the latest on the PAS and Treasure process, and the planned archaeological dig that will explore the wider site.Along the way we get practical, too: the realities of learning your detector, what gear they run (including the Minelab Manticore and XP Deus 2), beginner-friendly detecting tips, and how to read a field for the “signs” that people once lived and worked there.In this episode:• The full story of the Anglo-Saxon gold ring and the gold eagle head discovery• How the PAS and Treasure process works in real life (and why it can feel slow)• The British Museum PAS annual report event and why these finds mattered• Detector setups: Minelab Manticore vs XP Deus 2, coils, pinpointers, and digging tools• Best beginner advice: learning signals, field strategy, and why you should dig the “iffy” ones• Bucket list finds, favourite eras of history, and where to follow Chris and Paul onlineFind Chris on his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tinner455 or his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tinner455metaldetectingFind Paul on his TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@americandetectornbritain or his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momojo135/If you love metal detecting, Anglo-Saxon history, portable antiquities, and real stories from UK fields, this one is for you.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorypodcastYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryPodcastHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this midweek episode of the Detecting History Podcast, we examine one of the most shocking moments in British history.On 21 January 1649, Charles I was found guilty of treason by his own subjects. Nine days later, he was executed outside the Banqueting House, ending centuries of belief in the divine right of kings.This episode explores how England reached that point, the role of Oliver Cromwell and the New Model Army, and why the breakdown between king and Parliament made compromise impossible.We look at what happened between Charles I and Cromwell, why the trial of a reigning monarch was unprecedented, and how the execution reshaped power, authority, and the future of the British monarchy.A pivotal moment where a crown was not just lost, but deliberately destroyed.10% off some items at Regton Metal Detectors using promo code DHPodcastFollow the podcast on all socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detectinghistorypodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DetectingHistoryPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@detectinghistorypodcastYoutube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DetectingHistoryPodcastHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!

In this week’s solo episode, Katie is back in the field for the first time in a while with not one but two digs, while her ORX coil is still with Regton for inspection. She shares what it was like returning to detecting, how quickly the hours disappear once you’re swinging, and what she is learning as she gets to grips with the NOX 800 in both noisy and quieter ground conditions.You’ll hear highlights from two brilliant club days out, including the friendly atmosphere at Hayling Detect (plus the legendary bacon sarnies) and a muddy Midweek Searchers session where the tones were clearer and the finds started stacking up. Katie also talks about the physical side of detecting, why warm-ups and mobility matter, and how she’s building back up sensibly after a few months away.Away from the fields, it’s a podcast growth week too: social media, SEO, and a big hello to listeners across 73 countries. Katie rounds things off with community news, including the Bearded Bleepers exhibition at the Shere Museum, a spotlight on Darren Booth’s new side hustle “The Etching Booth,” and a quick run-through of archaeology headlines that caught her eye this week.Next week: an exciting guest (or two) and an incredible find. No spoilers. You will not want to miss it.Follow and connect:Detecting History Podcast on all socialsEmail: [email protected] the follow button to get all the new episodes first! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we go back to January 1559, when Elizabeth I was crowned Queen of England at Westminster Abbey. We explore how and when Elizabeth became queen, why her coronation mattered politically and religiously, and how this moment marked the beginning of one of the most transformative reigns in British history.We also look at what this period leaves behind in the ground today — from Elizabethan hammered silver coins to everyday Tudor artefacts still being found by detectorists across Britain. Plus, why Elizabeth I’s portrait is often worn smooth on coins, how to identify and date them when the face has gone, and what that wear tells us about life, trade, and money in the late 16th century.Perfect for fans of British history, Tudor England, Elizabeth I, metal detecting, archaeology, and historical finds.Find the podcast on all socials @detectinghistorypodcast and Youtube Regton promo code on some but not all items: DHPodcastPlease give a follow and a 5 star review!

In this episode of the Detecting History Podcast, Katie is joined by Ellie aka Miss Detectorist to explore the realities of modern metal detecting, from unforgettable historical finds to the power of community and storytelling.Miss Detectorist shares her personal journey into metal detecting over the last three years, including the excitement of uncovering Roman artefacts, her ongoing hope of finding gold, and the importance of understanding the historical context of a site rather than just chasing signals. Together, they discuss how choosing the right metal detecting equipment is a personal process, shaped by experience, strategy, and learning from others in the community.The conversation also dives into the social side of metal detecting. From festivals and rallies to online connections, this episode highlights how friendships, shared knowledge, and community support play a crucial role in identifying finds and keeping the hobby enjoyable. Miss Detectorist reflects on how writing about her discoveries and sharing them online has opened unexpected opportunities beyond the field.They also talk candidly about content creation in the detecting world, including the pressure to post during dry spells, the balance between filming and enjoying the dig, and why storytelling matters more than constant finds. Miss Detectorist explains her preference for Instagram and YouTube, her move towards voiceovers, and how her content style has evolved as her confidence and experience have grown.Whether you are new to metal detecting or a seasoned detectorist, this episode offers practical advice, honest insight, and a reminder that the real treasure is often the story behind the find.Find Miss Detectorist on instagram here or YouTube hereRegton promo code: DHPodcastHit the follow button to get all the new episodes first!
