The feature-length episode has metal detecting fanatics Andy (Mackenzie Crook) and Lance (Toby Jones) once again in the hunt for historic discoveries in their north Essex hometown of Danebury, but this time with an added incentive.
Having landed a lucrative find and a seemingly happy ending in the concluding episode of season 3, fans of the show had thought they had seen the last of the pair.
But Andy and Lance’s beloved Danebury Metal Detecting Club is on the brink of closure with developers looking to buy up the scout’s hall where the group meets upland.
Help seems to be on hand when Lance gets permission to search a 10-acre plot of land suspected of concealing buried treasure, but surprise developments put their rescue bid along with Lance and Andy’s friendship on the line.
