Hello! I’m Miss Detectorist UK - searcher of objects, artist and filmmaker - exploring ancient British landscapes with my detector 🇬🇧 For detectorists, history buffs, wilderness lovers, and anyone fascinated by Roman life, British history, and archaeology. Follow my journey metal detecting the countryside, and learning about history through the objects I find.
Have I found any treasure? I’ve collected Bronze Age and Roman artefacts, silver hammered coins, gold, Anglo-Saxon and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is the story each object tells about people and places. Let’s crack the code of time, with help from experts and YOU - my team of trusty subscribers!

Hello one and all - it’s been a quiet start to the year finds-wise hence the lack of a metal detecting video this week. Frustrating but that’s just how it goes sometimes! But I would like to point you to a series of three videos from Roman fields which (for some reason only know to the YouTube algorithm) has HARDLY BEEN SEEN. *Secret* videos, if you like! Here they are and they run in sequence:
/// THE ROMAN HOMESTEAD (Part 1) 🇬🇧 Metal detecting for 2000 year old clues. Coins! Coins! Coins!
https://youtu.be/Squ4j261bDI
/// THE ROMAN HOMESTEAD (Part 2) 🇬🇧 Metal detecting for 2000 year old clues. YET MORE COINS!!!!🤩
https://youtu.be/ZL4cKRy0xuw
/// THE ROMAN HOMESTEAD (Part 3) 🇬🇧 Metal detecting an old stile, SILVER!! & foraging for food 🤩

Just hit 7.5k subscribers on here ❤️ and 5k on Instagram the same day. Thank you all! In Roman numerals, 5k is written like this V̅ (Hence the pic.)
And a Roman theme is apt. I went to search two Roman roads in recent days - I found something very, very special. And I’m editing a vid about it- if you’re following me on Instagram you’ll have seen the magic unfold - so no spoilers!!! Watch this space, hope to have a very special metal detecting vid ready for you THIS SUNDAY AT 5pm 🇬🇧
