Each New Field is Hope, Each Old One Reality: The Accidental Detectorist with Nigel Richardson

  • Butser Ancient Farm Chalton Lane Hampshire, PO8 0BG United Kingdom (map)

In this lyrical dig into the hidden depths of metal detecting, journalist and travel writer Nigel Richardson describes the dopamine hit of the find, celebrates the unassuming madness of fellow detectorists, and reflects on ways of belonging in the landscapes that surround us. He’ll also bring some objects along!
