Detectorists - Season 2 (2015)

Russell and Hugh lean on the mayor to let them dig in his field but Terry discovers that Peter's grandfather did not die in a plane crash though Peter seems vague about it and instead asks Sophie to tour the country with him in a camper van. Annoyed to see that an amateur detectorist in Warwickshire unearthed a valuable cache of coins Andy is further perturbed when his interview for the job in Africa does not seem to go well. Lance meanwhile is also upset when Kate finds his attempts to connect with her overpowering.

Andy passes his interview but keeps the fact a secret from Becky, which so annoys her she considers leaving him, whilst Lance is worried that his overly effusive actions have lost Kate forever. The pair discover that Peter is an impostor whose real interest is in unearthing a cache of gold coins in collusion with Simon and Garfunkel and without a licence to do so. A nocturnal stake-out results in Simon and Garfunkel being arrested though Peter escapes.

Peter is arrested following the news that he has a life-time ban on metal detecting for disturbing war graves in Germany. The group hosts a rally for other local enthusiasts with Kate turning up to reconcile with her father and Andy getting unexpectedly wise advice from his mother-in-law regarding his and Becky's future. And Lance makes a very valuable find.

Lance's big find seems to have brought him nothing but misfortune, as the mysterious 'Curse of the Gold' appears to be taking its toll. Meanwhile, Andy briefly returns in good spirits from his adventures in Botswana and things take an upward turn for Lance when he finds a way to make his peace with the earth.
