Cornwall boasts thousands of years of rich history, from ancient bronze age activity to centuries of agricultural heritage. At Devon, Cornwall & Dorset Detectorists (DCDD UK), we work directly with metal detecting landowners in Cornwall to unearth this hidden past safely, ethically, and productively.
Whether you manage arable acreage in East Cornwall, resting pasture on the Lizard Peninsula, or family farmland in Mid-Cornwall, partnering with an organized club guarantees your land is treated with complete respect.
Why Cornwall Farmers Partner with DCDD UK
Allowing access to your property requires absolute trust. Therefore, we structure every single club event around safety, clear boundary control, and total transparency. Here is how we protect our Cornish hosts:
- £10,000,000 Public Liability Insurance: Every attendee carries individual public liability insurance through the National Council for Metal Detecting (NCMD) or FID. Additionally, DCDD UK holds dedicated club event organizer coverage.
- Fair 50/50 Find Splits: We operate under clear, written agreements. Consequently, any high-value discovery or Treasure item is split 50/50 between the finder and the landowner.
- Meticulous Field Care: Our members cut small, neat horseshoe plugs and press them back into place. Furthermore, we collect and remove all sharp field scrap, lead, and trash from your soil.
- Full On-Site Management: Experienced marshals manage every dig on location. Therefore, stock gates remain closed, crop boundaries are strictly honored, and vehicle parking is tightly organized.
Preserving Cornish Heritage Responsibly
Cornwall has a truly distinct archaeological story. Because of this, professional recording is a essential part of our club digs.
We work closely with the local Cornwall Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) under the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and strictly adhere to the Treasure Act 1996. Every historical item recovered on your farm is logged correctly, providing you with a unique historical record of your own land.
