North & East Riding Detecting Squad

The Yorkshire Wolds around Pocklington are NERDS territory — the North & East Riding Detecting Squad, a private club run to a professional standard. Members work with local archaeologists, the club has its own PAS self-recorders, and the Treasure Act and recording requirements are followed to the letter.

Don't expect open digs, though: events are strictly for members. If that disciplined approach to metal detecting appeals, make contact through the links and ask how membership works.

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.
