The series captures the drama and suspense of uncovering the lost items, as well as talking to the people who have an emotional connection to both the area and the items lost.
Helen works with a team of experts from divers to detectorists and magnet fishers to track down all manner of lost items scattered around the lakebeds and forests of this stunning location. They’ll take what they find back to base, either to reunite them with their delighted owners, or to start the process of working out who the items might belong to.
To do this, they enlist the help of a specialist social media detective, who will create online campaigns to help reunite owners with their lost possessions.
Some of the unclaimed items will be given an extraordinary and sometimes ingenious new lease of life by one of the area’s talented craftspeople too.
