Andy and Lance are approached by Sophie, who explains that she is a student with an interest in metal detecting. They invite her to attend the next meeting of their detecting club, the DMDC, where she is enthusiastically welcomed. Lance finds an excuse to visit his ex-wife Maggie at her shop, in the hope of reviving their relationship, but she is never far from her obnoxious new boyfriend Tony. Andy is convinced that a royal Saxon ship-burial is located on a nearby farm. The landowner, the eccentric Farmer Bishop, permits Andy and Lance to search his land, with the exception of one field, where it is rumoured that he has buried his wife. Lance secures permission to detect on ten acres of previously unsearched land and things take a turn for the better when he and Andy start to find artifacts from an important medieval battle. However, when Lance makes an important discovery he breaks protocol by wanting to withhold the information from the authorities and the DMDC, threatening his friendship with Andy and the club's survival. One thing led to another and Ladwa found himself soon auditioning for professional work, eventually landing a role in Strictly Dandia by the Tamasha Theatre Company and productions at the King's theatre in Edinburgh and at the Lyric in London.

Keighren, Innes; Norcup, Joanne, eds. (2020). Landscapes of Detectorists. Uniformbooks. ISBN 978-1910010242. It’s no surprise that there was a spike in interest in metal detecting once the show became a hit, as it’s just made to look like the most relaxing and beautiful of pastimes. The idyllic countryside, the simpler side of male bonding through a shared hobby, and the wonderful music of Johnny Flynn also help to paint a picture of tranquil harmony, interspersed with the odd moment of drama in the lives of the main characters. “Relaxing world” Orion Ben as Varde, a mostly silent DMDC member and girlfriend of Louise. Despite appearing in nearly every episode, and being described by members of the DMDC as very talkative, her only lines of dialogue are in series 2, episode 4, and the 2022 Christmas special. The series is to be broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV1, STV, and ITVX on 25 September 2023. [2] A trailer was revealed on 31 August. [8] On 2 October 2023, all episodes were released early on ITVX and the STV Player.It's often described as a "gentle" comedy but there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Some of the funniest come during the pair's run-ins with a rival metal detecting duo who have a very cavalier attitude to the detectorists' code, and who are always changing their name. They've been the Antiquisearchers, the Dirt Sharks and Terra Firma. Lance and Andy have dubbed them Simon and Garfunkel, although they're actually called Phil Peters (Simon Farnaby) and Paul Lee (Paul Casar) – Peters and Lee, get it? There's a running gag in which they are introduced with the opening bars of Sound of Silence, and Andy smuggles a Simon and Garfunkel lyric into the conversation, which usually ends in infantile insults being exchanged.
