Who We Are
At Detecting Dorset, we are passionate about the hobby of metal detecting but also appreciate the importance of preserving history for all to enjoy
​
We work closely with local landowners to find the best possible search sites but we also insist on only involving responsible detectorists, protecting the landowners and local history
​
Our team have been detecting responsibly for over 50 years!
​
We organise one day detecting on great sites as well as regular 'weekender' rallies
Our Impact
Local history preserved
Recording our finds
Not every dig reveals valuable finds but when they do, we ensure that local authorities and historians are made fully aware. This ensures that local history is preserved for future generations
