North Detecting Events Ltd was founded with a simple goal: to bring people together through a shared passion for history, discovery, and responsible metal detecting. Over the years, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading event organisers in the detecting community, known for our professional, well-managed rallies and a strong emphasis on ethical detecting.
Our events now welcome a diverse and expanding community — from seasoned detectorists to newcomers eager to explore the past. No matter your experience level, you’ll find a warm welcome and a high-quality event experience with North Detecting Events.
We work closely with landowners, local authorities, and detectorists to ensure all permissions, environmental responsibilities, and historical guidelines are strictly followed. Transparency, integrity, and respect for the land are at the heart of everything we do.
As the sole director, Anthony Pickering remains directly responsible for all contracts, permissions, and financial operations. This ensures every event is managed with consistency, legal compliance (including Companies House regulations), and a personal commitment to the highest standards.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come — and even more excited about what’s ahead for the detecting community.
