Detectorists (BBC Series)

Andy and Lance are members of the small but dedicated Danbury Metal Detecting Club (DMDC), who search for buried treasure with metal detectors. As boring club president, Terry welcomes new member, Sophie. Andy and Lance are determined to look for the rumored Saxon hoard on farm-land owned by eccentric Larry Bishop, a man once suspected of killing his wife.

Exploring Larry Bishop's land, Lance and Andy find nothing other than Art and Paul from the rival Antiquisearchers. Bishop tells them that some years ago he found some treasures which he gave to Justine but refuses to say who Justine is.

Andy and Lance perform at the open mike evening but Lance is upset that Maggie does not come to support him whilst Andy's insistence that his girlfriend should not turn up to see him looking foolish leads to her believe he's having an affair with Sophie.

Hospitalized after unearthing the UXB, Terry decides to retire as club president and nominates a reluctant Andy to succeed him. The next day Andy and Sophie find a gold coin on Bishop's land and share a chaste, celebratory kiss before the army arrives to declare the land out of bounds whilst they look for more bombs.

Puzzled as to why she left him, Andy visits Becky who shows him an incriminating photo. He makes up with Lance, who confesses to Sophie that he has won over a quarter of a million pounds in the lottery but doesn't tell her that Maggie has asked him for a loan to save her shop. Sophie is seen as a traitor when it transpires that she is a former member of the Antiquisearchers.

Lance learns that Maggie has known about his lottery win all along, whilst Andy wins back Becky by selling his detecting equipment and promising to give up his activity. The club holds an open day but the only person to turn up is Sophie, who informs everybody that Antiquisearchers have been disqualified from the dig for placing nails on the site.
