In the close-knit detectorist community, secrets don't stay secret for long. With rare Anglo-Saxon coins in their possession, George and Layton turn to coin dealer Simon Wicks. But as coins start appearing at a Mayfair auction house, whispers of an undeclared hoard begin to spread.

June 2015, Herefordshire. Two Welsh detectorists - George Powell and Layton Davies - stumble upon a Viking hoard estimated to be worth up to £12m.

They could have become very rich and been celebrated as heroes in museums across the land. But instead, they began to hatch a criminal plot. Narrated by Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Detectorists/Slow Horses), this is the story of how to go from the luckiest treasure hunters on earth, to Newport's most wanted.

Trying to throw authorities off their scent, George and Layton hand in precious pieces of gold jewelry to a museum in Cardiff, spinning a story about how and where they were found. But archaeologist Peter Reavill isn't convinced - and as the true scale and value of the hoard become impossible to ignore, so do George and Layton's lies.
