The Scottish Detectorist
Metal detecting and history, two of my passions in life.
Join me on my hunt for lost history and treasures on the fields of Scotland with occasional hangers on Marty, Pete, Albert and Simón.
Huge thanks to Regton metal detectors who have become my sponsor from 2022.
Thanks also for those who’ve supported me through BuyMeACoffee which helps me pay for recording equipment, microphones, travel and so on…. Hugely appreciated!
