Iceni metal detecting services are a specialist contractor working with and for Archaeology companies on a commercial basis for development led projects throughout the UK.

​

Based in Norfolk, Steve Clarkson, the founder of Iceni MDS qualified as the only professional metal detectorist accredited by the Chartered institute for Archaeology at practitioner level (PCifA) some 5 years ago and is highly experienced in all aspects of trial trench, mitigation and survey work.

​

Background:

With 25 years of detecting experience, the last 5 of which have been spent in commercial Archaeology, I started my career as a volunteer detecting during the community excavation work for the Aylsham Roman Project here in Norfolk. As a result, Britannia Archaeology who were managing the project saw an opportunity of using my services to expand their portfolio of services to clients existing and new.

​

After gaining experience within the sector combined with training on hand excavation and recording I was then accepted into the Chartered institute as a Metal detectorist. I now continue to contract my services to MoLA, Headland, Wardell Armstrong, AOC, HCUK and of course Britannia Archaeology to name a few.

​

State of the art metal detectors are used with blue tooth headphones allowing hard hats to be worn, full ppe, finds bags provided and a comprehensive knowledge of finds enabling on site dating of metal objects and coins.
