ARRIVE
Listen to Paddy’s demo and then you’re off exploring two acres of pasture.
PINPOINT YOUR SIGNAL
Dig up your find, ask Paddy to identify it if you’re not sure what it is.
CELEBRATE YOUR FINDS
The joy of detecting is not knowing what you are walking over, who know what you might find. When it’s a good find, be sure to let us know and to celebrate.
WHO ARE THE FUN DETECTORS?
A family run business, Fun Detectors was created when Paddy and Andy wanted to share the hobby of metal detecting with others but realised there was nowhere friends could hire equipment to use just for a day. A year later we extended this to running metal detecting experiences, guaranteeing finds so you gain an insight into the thrill of real metal detecting.
EQUIPMENT
You will need a metal detector, a shovel, a pinpointer and a finds bag, but do not worry we provide it all. You need to provide the correct footwear, shoes suitable for walking on grass and digging. No open toed shoes please. Also, dress for the weather, we detect in both sunshine and rain.
