Chasing Rainbows and Unearthing History Every Search is a New Adventure!
Standing under the rainbow, detector in hand, ready to uncover the stories hidden beneath the soil. Every dig is a chance to rediscover the past, from ancient relics to forgotten coins, each with its own tale to tell. At Digging History UK, the thrill of the hunt is shared among friends, bringing history to life one treasure at a time. As we explore together, we not only uncover artifacts but also create new memories and friendships along the way.

Beneath the rolling fields, the soil yielded treasures spanning two millennia – from Celtic gold staters and Roman brooches to hammered silver and Georgian buttons. As one detectorist put it, it was a “SUPER SUPER DAY!”
Swineshead
Alan Carr, who unearthed a medieval pilgrim’s ampulla — a small lead container that once held holy water or oil
Wigtoft
Initially found with soil clinging to it, Glen later cleaned it up, revealing a delicate green stone still set proudly in its mount.
