Norfolk Metal Detecting Co-operative

UK's non profit metal detecting co-operative

"Discovering History Together"

Welcome to Norfolk Metal Detecting Co-operative

We are group of trusted members who attend new and current team permissions to secure the land from profiteering metal detecting groups.

We understand that land owners are offered cash by these groups in return for setting up a rally/dig on their land, these groups do not care if there is individual detecting as they see it as high cash revenue, mostly because the land owners are offered a low sum per attendee.

Why are we different, because we are non profit co-operative that gives the land owner full payment for a dig but also non instrusive to the individuals permission.
