Welcome to Shiverly, a peaceful English village in Yorkshire, at the turn of the millennium, where rolling fields, friendly locals and buried secrets await.
In The Detectorist Guild, you join James who is free to roam the town and surrounding countryside locations with his trusty metal detector, searching for artefacts that reveal the stories of the past. Villagers often misplace their prized belongings and it is up to James to track them down, return what is lost and earn their trust.
But beneath the cosy surface lies something more. As James digs deeper into the village’s history, a dark mystery begins to emerge, drawing him and his family into a tale that connects past and present.
