A podcast about hunting for history, lost treasure and ordinary people discovering extraordinary objects.


When it comes to unearthing history George Ridgway and Paul Jacobs have the pedigree. Well, George does.

He discovered Britain's largest Claudian hoard stuffed full of gold and silver Iron Age and Roman coins.

Paul found some rusty nails and a podcasting buddy.


Join them as they bomb around the Suffolk countryside in a classic Land Rover, unravelling the secrets of the landscape and unearthing the history beneath their feet.

But this is more than just treasure hunting.

It’s a podcast about friendship and finding peace in the landscape, about understanding our place in time, about patience, optimism, and the power of a pint after a day in our gorgeous countryside.


But if you want a simple way to describe it: it's 2 mates, passionate about history, bombing around in a battered old Landy, trying to understand the landscape they love.

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST
    Episode 31. Iron-Age Gold


    Spring is in the air, everything is bathed in sunlight and looks a little golden - even that suspicious metal edge in the dark clay...


    In this stunning episode George and Paul return to a field that was home to a Roman farm some 2,000 years ago. This time though, the boys scramble through the hedgerow to explore the greener grass on the other side and what they discover rewrites the landscape in the most spectacular way possible.

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST
    Episode 30. Behind the Church


    To celebrate the big 3-0 (episodes, not the number of stones Paul pockets every hunt), the boys return to land where they discovered a stunning silver coin of Severus Alexander in Episode 2.


    But a chance meeting with the farmer sends them somewhere new - land next to a medieval church that’s never been detected.


    Expect mysterious finds, Suffolk in spring, and George revealing a recent discovery that leaves Paul speechless.

    THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST
    Episode 29. Button Moon

    It’s back to the Bronze Age field where George found the tip of a spear last episode - and now it’s up to the boys to unravel the mystery.


    But with mist rolling across the valley and an ancient stream babbling nearby, the mysteries of this landscape seem only to deepen…
