Summary

Two oddballs, Andy and Lance, scour the English countryside for treasure. These amateur metal detectorists have an unhealthy fixation on uncovering a fabled trove of Saxon loot. Unfortunately, the world of high-stakes metal detecting is surprisingly turbulent, as are their personal lives. Andy's girlfriend, Becky, is none too pleased about the amount of time he sinks into his fruitless hobby and even less so when a female colleage enters the equation. Lance, meanwhile, is still hopelessly in love with his ex-wife--and finds several embarrassing ways to show it. But behind the most excruciating moments lies a winning combination of warmth, eccentricity, and humanity.
