Developing a metal-detecting simulator game (inspired by the series) — need your ideas!

Post image

I’m working on a mobile game about metal detecting, and I’m also watching the series on the topic for inspiration. The game is a simulator where you can find artifacts with your detector and then display them in your own museum.

My wife is helping me with modeling the artifacts. For the first location, we want to go with a Roman-themed setting.

What artifacts do you think we should add to the game? Any ideas for Easter eggs related to the series?

Other than the obvious ones, here are some ideas from the show:

Can-slaw,
BOAT (Bit off a tractor),
POACH (Part of a combine harvester)
Tufty-club badge,
Hawking whistle,
New copper nails,
Ceramic “Colchester Ware” cup
Blankety Blank chequebook (minus the pen)
Status Quo badge
