  • Hi, I'm Peter Welch

  • and I use Google Earth

  • to find where ancient artifacts are buried.

  • Most people, when they start detecting,

  • you find a nail.

  • You find a beer can.

  • Average stuff.

  • And then you find your first coin

  • and that's where the interest

  • starts to grab you.

  • I thought, "There's something in this,

  • organizing digs for people."

  • So I formed the Weekend Wanderers.

  • We quickly grew to be

  • the largest metal detecting club in the country.

  • It's not just about finding things.

  • It's research, conservation

  • and studying history.

  • When you're on the ground

  • you cannot see

  • where people from prehistory lived.

  • So with Google Earth

  • you can trace a crop mark

  • because it shows you

  • signs of ancient occupation

  • like buildings, roads.

  • That's where the interesting stuff lies.

  • Our most significant treasure find

  • was in 2014 on our Christmas dig.

  • One of the guys came back

  • and said, "Oh, I've got a hoard of coins."

  • So I looked down the hole

  • and there were two or three

  • stacked coins.

  • And I said, "Oh my God,

  • it's Anglo-Saxon."

  • I had to go and tell the farm owner.

  • He was busy with the sheep.

  • And he said, "Oh, yeah, whatever."

  • "We need to sort this out."

  • And he stood there with his mouth wide open

  • couldn't believe what he was seeing.

  • It's a million pound hoard

  • on his table.

  • Ultimately it goes on display in the museum.

  • There's a lot more land to search.

  • One day we might strike it big again

  • and I'm pretty sure it won't be long.

  • To all those unearthing history

  • Search on.
