Britain's countryside conceals a wealth of history beneath its fields, gardens, and pastures. From Roman relics and medieval artefacts to legendary hoards long whispered in local folklore, countless historical assets await discovery. Each year, thousands of significant finds emerge, often by chance or amateur exploration, highlighting the immense potential hidden beneath privately owned land.

 

LegacyDetect is a discreet, boutique historical discovery and asset retrieval firm dedicated to professionally uncovering this hidden heritage. Our unique, heritage-first approach combines meticulous historical research, cutting-edge detection technology, including high sensitivity metal detection, deep-pulse Induction & 3-D ground-imaging scanners and advanced aerial imaging, and traditional archaeological methods. By integrating modern science with time-tested practices, we maximise the likelihood of locating significant cultural assets while minimising disruption to your property. We understand that inviting external exploration onto your land requires trust and confidence. LegacyDetect offers a highly discreet service, tailored specifically to each landowner's preferences and concerns. Every step, from initial historical assessment and site survey through to physical exploration, is undertaken at absolutely no cost to you. We fully fund and manage the entire discovery process, ensuring complete transparency, legal compliance, and rigorous adherence to ethical standards. LegacyDetect accepts only a limited number of select projects each year, prioritising previously unexplored lands untouched by amateur detecting events or public rallies.

 

This ensures the integrity and historical context of any discoveries. Our mission is not only to uncover buried historical assets of potential financial value but also to respectfully reveal and preserve the historical narratives of your land. Discovering history is an exciting and rewarding journey. Whether your land holds lost family heirlooms, a trove of ancient coins, historical jewellery, or hidden relics from past centuries, LegacyDetect is committed to unlocking these treasures responsibly and confidentially, creating a lasting legacy from the stories and assets your property quietly holds.
