LOVE IT! Love the premise of ordinary people wrapped up in a metal detecting hobby where they claim to be searching for historical significance out of ordinary metal objects that they find, but secretly want to find that one treasure that will change their lives. And all the while, the t.v. show develops the every day treasures around these sad sacks, in the people that make a difference in their lives.
The usual development of odd British characters is a huge plus.

Ruined my sleep patterns for life.
