How MSS supports RABI, the Farmer's Charity
MSS and RABI, the Farmers Charity, are working together to raise funds that strengthen wellbeing support for farming people across England and Wales.
Through organised charity metal detecting events across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey, MSS members will help generate donations supporting RABI’s practical, financial and wellbeing services for farming people.
RABI, the Farmer's Charity, provides practical, financial and emotional support to farming people across England and Wales.
If you would like to discuss this with us, please contact Paul, Jim or Nick on info@mss-detecting.org

What would I be signing up to?
If you want to get involved in this initiative, an exploratory conversation with one of the people listed above, can explain how this would work. Any detecting is only on agreed days and specific land. The event is fully marshalled by MSS
What land would be needed?
Detecting can take place on any land where a coil can be swung- set aside pasture, ploughed, stubble etc. Some of our landowner/farmers are happy for us to detect on seeded land and on early stage crops - the choice is yours. Our team would visit briefly with you in advance to check out the land suitability, parking, access etc.
Are the detectorists covered by relevant insurance?
All MSS members hold full NCMD Civil Liability Insurance, all details can be found at www.ncmd.co.uk MSS maintains strict membership policy, so all detectorists on these digs have been vetted by MSS. We can vouch for them!
Is it just for one dig or could there be more?
Usually, a dig is on a minimum of 30 acres so that we can visit other fields on other days. In addition, we often visit farms multiple times per year and over multiple years creating more funds for RABI or a share of funds with the farmer or landowner. The choice is yours
In summary the benefits to you participating are:
- Raise up to £500 per dig to support farming people through RABI
- Receive a 50/50 split on any Treasure items found (it happens more often than you think!)
- Receive a complimentary finds report of significant finds made on your land with quality photographs
- Benefit from the safe removal of potentially harmful (to machinery/stock) scrap metal
