Not quite Time Team but Barrow on Trent did welcome an archaeological team from the University of Nottingham over the weekend of 5 to 7 July 2013.

Dowsing for buried archaeological features. “Before I started I was a complete sceptic. I still am to a certain extent but despite everything it seemed to work.

I still don’t understand it but it seemed to work for me.” Peter Kent Southwell Community Archaeology Group
