Archaeologist and broadcaster Mike Pitts delves into the sometimes
murky world of the metal detector, from harmless amateur history buffs
to criminal nighthawkers, and discovers how metal detecting is
changing our national heritage. He hears stories of in-fighting within
the metal detecting community, bust-ups between landowners and
detectorists and battles inside the archaeological establishment. Mike
hears from the man who found a multi-million pound Saxon hoard and the
farmer who has been threatened and attacked for the treasures beneath
his farm.
