Friends of Dedham Vale Detectorists

On the Essex side of the Dedham Vale, the Friends of Dedham Vale Detectorists operate out of Boxted, a village just north of Colchester. It's a small club rather than a big commercial dig outfit, and a keen one by all accounts.

There isn't much published about their dig schedule, so get in touch through the contact links if you'd like to know about membership and how often they get out on the land.

Thinking of joining? Get in touch with the club directly using the links here — and if you're still choosing your first metal detector, sort that before your first dig.
