In late 2003 two metal detectorists were working in a field in Yorkshire. They found 'treasure' buried just beneath the surface - a collection of Viking material next to a body.
Although they had been detecting on the site for a number of years, during which time they had made large numbers of finds, nothing they had uncovered previously compared with this. They decided to share their discovery with archaeologists.
In this Time Team Special, produced and directed by Brendan Hughes, Brendan and an assistant followed the excavation of the site and the often difficult relationship between the metal detectorists and the archaeologists over a period of a year from late 2005 to 2006.
