The ultimate adventure! The one that makes children and adults dream: treasure hunting. Throughout time, people have devoted their lives to it. Adventurers without faith or law, but also amateurs of all ages who devote all their leisure time to it. Some have made a fortune. Fortunes in the millions of euros. Some travel the world in search of incredible treasures. Those of wrecks sunk on coral reefs. Others travel the French countryside in search of ancient coins and family treasures. There are 60,000 of them using metal detectors. To listen to them, these millions of euros in the form of gold, precious stones and porcelain are just waiting to be found. Under the sea and underground. We followed these adventurers for several months in the most beautiful regions of France: in Dordogne, Anjou, Normandy… But also abroad, in Morocco and Indonesia. They all find. Like Pierre, this 16-year-old high school student who searches a medieval fortress with the agreement of the local mayor. Or Alain, certainly the most famous and talented treasure hunter in France. In 30 years of detection, he has got his hands on at least 400 kilos of gold. And what about Jean-Paul, this scuba diving specialist. At 59, he empties wrecks over 1000 years old in the seabed of the Indian Ocean. To his credit, a treasure estimated at 80 million dollars. With them, we will discover how to go about finding a treasure. The tips, but also the traps to avoid... Treasure hunting, a dream within reach, better than the lottery but also much more dangerous.
