Detectorists

Still unemployed, Andy worries about providing for his wife, Becky, and new son, Stanley. Unlucky-in-love Lance continues to pine after his ex-wife, Maggie. And a young German man enlists the help of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club to find the lost WWII plane his grandfather piloted.

Sophie and Peter begin researching the lost plane, while it appears Lance has finally gotten a date. Wanting to start anew with her family, Becky contemplates joining a volunteer program in Africa, but Andy remains oblivious to her desires.

Sophie suspects Lance may be seeing someone and follows him, reporting her findings to Andy. When the DMDC discovers that the plane may be on the mayor’s land, they are forced to help him recover his missing chain of office, which was lost under shady circumstances.

Andy anxiously prepares for his job interview. Russell and Hugh blackmail the mayor into giving them permission to detect on his land, but there may be more to the crash site than originally thought.

Andy got the job, but he’s too scared to tell Becky. Peter tells Sophie that he’s decided to leave the crash site behind, and Sophie believes him despite his suspicious behavior. When Andy and Lance find a gold coin in Peter’s wallet, they call an emergency meeting of the DMDC.

Lance worries that he may have lost his daughter forever. The DMDC holds its annual rally at the plane crash site and encounter more than one unexpected visitor. Andy must make a decision about Botswana.

Since unearthing the jeweled Saxon astel, Lance has been plagued by misfortune. When the DMDC spot a mysterious cloaked figure in a picture of the astel on exhibit at the British Museum, they begin to suspect Lance may be suffering from “the curse of the gold.”
