Join George, Paul, and one slightly unreliable Land Rover, as they search the Suffolk landscape for clues to our past.
Along the way they'll detect with the finders of some of Britain's greatest treasures, and meet people who hunt for history in unique and brilliant ways.
But it's about more than just treasure.
This is a podcast about friendship and finding peace in the landscape, about understanding our place in time, and about eternal optimism, patience and romance.
It's about the power of a pint after a day in our gorgeous countryside.
But if you want a simple way to describe it to your mates, just tell them it's about two blokes, passionate about history, bombing around in a battered old Landy, trying to understand the landscape they love.

The Empire Strikes Pot.
The Temple of Pot.
Back to the Future Pot II
(Sorry, this is too much fun...)
For metal detectorists, the plough is a miracle worker, bringing well-worked sites back to life - something George knows well from his Helmingham Hoard site where the plough helped unearth hundreds of gold and silver coins. So, when Paul discovers that their 'X Marks the Pot' Roman site has been ploughed for the first time in decades it means only one thing - there’s way more to be found.
Back they go for two days of serious digging, with detectors, finds bags, massive amounts of optimism and tons of questions in toe.
Like, what can the artefacts they’re desperate to find tell us about the ancients who lived there? Can Paul find the rest of his pot? And the big one - who will win ‘best find’?
To answer that, they call in an expert - trained archaeologist Ruby, who just happens to be George's girlfriend...
This... is X Mark the Pot II: Judgement Day.
