From time to time you may have noticed people out walking the fields around our villages with metal detectors. The ones who have been doing it with the landowners’ permission are members of the ‘Herts & District Metal Detecting Society‘ a club of responsible metal detector users who have experience of detecting on farms in the Hertfordshire countryside over the last 40 years, the oldest detecting club in the UK.
Their finds are recorded with the Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) for Beds. & Herts., who is based at the Verulamium Museum (St Albans). Just some of the local finds are shown in the picture above, detected by Barney Bryant who has kindly shared some of his photos with us, and can been seen in this site’s photo album, accessed here.
