We sincerely appreciate your input .... and we just love the Dragons Den ;)
The Treasure Act 1996 is actually mentioned by myself in my previous posts on this forum.
With regards to the legislation, please be aware that when signing up on Landbitz, metal detectorists must acknowledge our...
Hello JCMaloney, Thank you for taking the time to reply.
You're correct. I am Fred and I am the person that posted Relic Pass in the past and I would like to reassure you that there is nothing fishy about it. The answer, as usual, is a lot simpler: since the platform went live outside of the UK...
Landbitz is the first platform that connects landowners and responsible metal detectorists and it’s now available in the UK.
We are a group of responsible metal detectorists with the utmost respect for history, nature and the property of others and we are building solid relationships with...
Steve1234, I am sure you’re not a bad guy but honestly, I can’t understand what you were either thinking or trying to accomplish when you posted your reply.
Come on man, as detectorists on a farming forum we are merely guests here and shouldn’t forget that.
For some farmers we are not even that...
Hi onthehoof, I hear what you're saying. I am very sorry to read that you have had experiences that made you doubt the sincerity of some detectorists. That's of course never desirable.
The 50/50 split however is not an arbitrary decision made by detectorists but regulated by the Treasure Act...
Very well said! I am a passionate responsible metal detectorist and I am only moved by a genuine interest in History.
Sadly, night-hawkers and trespassers have caused a lot of damage, to farmers and honest metal detectorists but the majority of metal detectorists are very decent and respectful...
I just started it as a result of all the experiences I've had in the past and I feel strongly that this is the best way to connect farmers and metal detectorists in a healthy dynamic.
I don't actually mean to take anything away from clubs or anybody else, in fact RelicPass should be seen as a...
Hi marshbarn, thank you. Metal detecting club are great, however and this is me personally, I grew weary of them for different reason.
I won't go into details cause I still have great respect for clubs and don't want to use this opportunity to talk bad about them. Not at all.
The commission on...
Hi Steve, thanks so much for your reply.
In the past 2 hours, 11 farmers have posted a listing on RelicPass (for a total of 600 hectares of metal detecting land).
With 30,000 metal detectorists and counting, RelicPass is the easiest way for a farmer to promote his or her business, learn more...

Thank you!

When booking a listing on RelicPass, Metal Detectorists are required to acknowledge and abide by the 'Code of Practice for Responsible Metal Detecting' and 'The Countryside Code' and must have NCMD Insurance.
RelicPass also provides the opportunity to leave comments under a listing where...
Hi all,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post.
What I am trying to achieve is to establish good, healthy relationships between farmers and metal detectorists.
In UK alone there are approximately 30,000 metal detectorists and the number is growing every year.
Unfortunately...
If farmers and metal detectorists where in a relationship, their status on Facebook would be “It’s complicated” …. but it really doesn’t need to be! :)
I am working on a simple solution to establish mutually beneficial, solid and healthy relationships between responsible metal detectorists and...
