TESTIMONIALS

"The day was perfect. Andy, James and Pat were so welcoming.

I got to follow in the footsteps of history whilst in the shadow of Sheriff Hutton Castle detecting of which I've dreamed about, and with my partner. 

I've got the bug and I've joined a local group.

Thank you for making my birthday one to remember."

"I had a great day, especially using my detector over the "test bed" which was incredibly helpful to get a sense for "true" signals. I learned how to ignore fake signals and not to dig out everything. In addition to that I really enjoyed spending time with the guys. Their humour made everybody’s day very entertaining (at least mine)! I don’t think there is much to be improved. It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into the planning of the day."

Vincent Press, Germany

"Was a great day. Staff very knowledgeable, very friendly and extremely helpfully. An experience anyone would enjoy and I would certainly go back.
Thanks to the guys for the day.

"I'd wanted to get into metal detecting for a while but didn't know where to start, so Discover Detecting was perfect for me! This was a fantastic experience. Very friendly and passionate staff and plenty of hands-on detecting time. I've come away feeling a lot more knowledgeable about metal detecting and ready to dive head first into this hobby! Thank you James, Andy and Pat for a really good day. Would highly recommend!"

"Like a lot of other people I loved the BBC series Detectorists and had always wanted to have a go myself but really didn’t know where to start. Discover Detecting gave me the chance to try it out. And what a day! The guys were great at setting us up, teaching us about the machine. I even learned how to dig a hole properly! I hadn’t bargained on how exciting it is. And James, Andy and Pat were on hand all day to help out, answer questions and give advice. I can’t recommend the day highly enough. Tremendous."

"I think Discover Detecting brought me beginners luck! After getting great instruction and advice we set off on our own, although Andy, James and Pat were always on hand to help out. In my first hole I found an old key. They said it was probably at least 200 years old. I was over the moon with it. A great day out. A great experience. Highly recommended."
