River Hunters

River Hunters pairs US YouTube sensation Beau Ouimette, a river detectorist with over 30 years’ experience, with presenter and keen swimmer Rick Edwards, as they search the UK’s waterways for archaeological finds. River Hunters will see Rick and river-searching expert Beau visit some of the most historically significant sites across Britain, covering iconic events and battles including: Roman Briton, the Wars of the Roses, the Reformation and the English Civil War. Using stateof-the-art technology, archive maps and contemporaneous accounts of the period, Beau and Rick perform the first underwater archaeological digs at these sites, often in dangerous and fast-flowing water. Their searches of these unexplored rivers and waterways unearth treasures from the past which reveal how our ancestors used to live. The duo will meet with local archaeologists and historians to unearth the stories and people behind the finds. (History Channel)
