Emma Found THREE Celtic Coins in a short space of time and Landed Her Dream Job Mid-Dig.

Emma Youell (https://www.instagram.com/emloveoldstuff/) is back, and she has had quite a couple of years.

Since her last appearance on the podcast, Emma has ticked off not one but two items from her detecting bucket list finding two Iron Age quarter staters and a potent within just a couple of months. Three Celtic coins. Extraordinary.

But that's just the start. Emma has been quietly doing some of the most important work in the hobby right now, creating video content for the National Council for Metal Detecting, including a film about Scottish treasure law and a deep dive into the brand new NCMD app. She shares the incredible story of how one detectorist used that app to track his Roman finds across a map... and accidentally discovered an entire hidden Roman road.

Emma also opens up about her work as a PAS self-recorder, her ongoing involvement with Time Team (including an upcoming dig at a Roman site in Brancaster, Norfolk), and how she found out her animations were going to appear on a Channel 4 show via a phone call received while standing in a Lincolnshire field mid-dig.

Plus her Kent Women in Business award win, her obsession with the musical Epic, and a round of Would You Rather that gets surprisingly philosophical.
