About us

Welcome to Metal Detectors Direct, the United States leading alternative metal detector brand. We started with a simple but powerful belief: everyone should have access to quality metal detecting equipment with more choice and competitive pricing.

As passionate detectorists ourselves, we recognised an opportunity in the USA market. Many traditional dealers focus on specific brand partnerships, which can limit customer choice and keep prices high. We decided to take a different approach.

What started as a desire to offer more options in the USA market grew into our mission: to provide direct access to quality metal detectors that we've personally tested and used here in the USA. We source excellent equipment from manufacturers worldwide, particularly from China, ensuring British detectorists have access to a wider range of quality options.
