About Us

About UK History Finders (UKHF)

UK History Finders (UKHF) was founded in 2017 by passionate detectorist Tom . What started with small organised dig events has grown into a thriving detecting community, with access to thousands of acres across the UK through strong links within the farming world.

Family and Passion

Metal detecting and camping are part of our family life. I love sharing this passion with my two sons, aged 7 and 3 — they both enjoy the thrill of discovery and the adventure of the outdoors.

Shop & Product Development

In 2018, we began offering metal detecting accessories and equipment requested by UKHF members. As demand grew, I started designing and manufacturing unique products using advanced FDM 3D printing technology.

Today, this is a core part of our business. We operate over 50 industrial-grade FDM printers, producing exclusive, high-quality detecting accessories at scale.

In 2019, I teamed up with Cliff, another keen detectorist and expert in 3D design. Together, we’ve developed dozens of unique products now available in our shop, with over 250 of our own designs currently in stock and more being added regularly.
