Lost Relic Hunters

Carl Cookson and Hamilton White investigate a Crusader sword and helmet that date back more than 900 years.

This time, Carl and Hamilton investigate an extraordinary collection of Celtic gold from the Iberian peninsula that dates back thousands of years. Amongst the artefacts are a gold bowl worth over £1 million and a stone altar to the god Endovelicus.

Carl and Hamilton are back on more familiar ground with a stunning white marble chalice from Hamilton’s Knights Templar treasure hoard, from which the relics they explored in the first series came.

In Hamilton’s possession is a wooden chest stuffed full of relics from medieval Christian pilgrimages. These include clamshell pendants from the Camino De Santiago in Spain and Jerusalem crosses from the Holy Land.

Hamilton has amassed an extraordinary, and sometimes disturbing, collection of Nazi memorabilia. These include a collection of Nazi badges that were sold to raise money for the German poor and an ammunition box full of silver bullion bars.
