Metal detecting, a hobby that now unites history lovers, treasure hunters, and outdoor adventurers worldwide, has its roots in science, war, and human curiosity. But where did it all begin?
Detector Lady on the road:
Chasing stories buried in time, through fields, ruins, and museum halls.
Hello, I'm Detector Lady, a passionate metal detectorist and history enthusiast from the Czech Republic. I travel with my XP Deus II and XP ORX Metal Detectors, uncovering hidden treasures. Collaborating with archaeologists, I document my adventures and discoveries on my YouTube channel, sharing the thrill of exploration with fellow enthusiasts.
But it's not just about metal detecting — it's about the journey. I discover new cultures, visit museums and unique places, learn DIY skills, forage wild herbs, and live in harmony with nature. Every trip is a chance to connect with the past, explore the present, and grow along the way.

Some adventures are too real, too raw, or simply too "off-limits" for YouTube.
On Patreon, I share exclusive videos from places I probably shouldn't be filming… and stories that aren't meant for the public eye.

Daily stories from my life on the road — moments between the signals.
I share bits of everyday life: metal detecting, wandering through forests, visiting museums, watching the sky change, and making tea in the wild. It's not always about treasure — sometimes it's just about being present, curious, and a little muddy.
Some places look completely ordinary, quiet woods, narrow paths, a countryside that feels almost untouched. And yet, beneath the surface, stories linger. My recent trip to South Bohemia with a friend wasn't just about metal detecting. It was about stepping into history and standing in a place where something unforgettable happened.
Metal detecting is a fantastic hobby that combines adventure, history, and the thrill of discovery.
My Metal Detecting Journey
I started my metal detecting journey back in 2020 with a simple Bounty Hunter, not knowing it would grow into such a deep passion. Since then, I've explored historical locations, learned to identify old coins, and embraced the beauty of uncovering stories hidden beneath the surface.
Along the way, I've upgraded my gear — from the XP ORX to the XP DEUS II, paired with the XP MI-6 pinpointer — and developed a love not only for treasure hunting, but also for vintage objects, forgotten places, and the history that connects them all.
I spend a lot of time in nature, especially in the mountains, where the silence and surroundings add something special to every search. Whether it's a worn coin, a rusty relic, or just the feeling of stepping where others haven't, each find is a small piece of a bigger story.
If you're interested in supporting location surveys with a metal detector or collaborating on projects involving historical research or fieldwork, feel free to get in touch — every bit of support helps continue the search.
