Your support makes a difference
Aim: To run affordable, responsible metal detecting events that unite the community, promote heritage, and encourage ethical detecting practices.
We’re a small team of passionate metal detectorists who believe in responsible detecting, shared knowledge, and building a welcoming community. That’s why we created MDP Detecting Days—fun, friendly events that bring people together to explore history while respecting the land and heritage.
Our vision is to grow MDP Detecting Days into a trusted national network of grassroots events where detectorists of all levels can learn, connect, and enjoy the hobby responsibly.
The money we raise will go towards:
Buying vital Metal Detecting equipment
Securing land and permissions
Public liability insurance
Event materials like signage, ID badges, and welcome packs
Health and safety equipment
Educational outreach and Code of Conduct printing
Your support will help us keep events affordable and accessible, while ensuring every dig is safe, respectful, and enjoyable for all.
Let’s unearth the past—together.
