About me
Hello, I’m Terry – an 80‑year‑old lifelong treasure hunter, based in the UK and still getting a buzz every time a detector beeps. I’ve spent years researching different counties, beaches, fields, and village edges, and turning that knowledge into easy‑to‑read guides for other people who love the hobby.
I’ve written a whole range of ebooks over the years, not just about metal detecting, but also about local villages, antiques, and all sorts of quirky collecting interests. MetalDetectingUK.com is my way of bringing all that experience together in one place and giving it away, so anyone can learn and enjoy it without having to buy a thing.
Because I’m still researching new counties, fines, permissions, and good places to explore, the site will keep growing with fresh ideas and updated information. I’m also a big fan of using modern tools like AI to help organise and explain things clearly, which means you’ll get down‑to‑earth, practical advice without the usual jargon.
If you enjoy metal detecting, old coins, bits of history, or just a quiet walk with a detector in your hand, you’re very welcome here – and if anything you read helps you find one extra interesting target, that will make me very happy.
