About Us
LP Metal Detecting is based at Unit 20, Pipers Industrial Estate, Pipers Lane, Thatcham, Berkshire, RG19 4NA, where our warehouse handles Click & Collect, returns and customer support.
In March 2026, we relocated our operations to our new premises in Thatcham. This is now the only address for customer collections, in-store purchases, returns and general enquiries. Any previous LP Metal Detecting addresses are no longer in use.

Founded over 35 years ago by Mick and Julie Turrell, LP began as a small family-run business with a simple goal: to provide friendly, honest advice and quality equipment for anyone interested in metal detecting, whether they were buying their first detector or had years of experience.
Over the years, we've grown into one of the UK's leading metal detecting retailers, offering more than 1,500 products from the world's biggest brands, including Minelab, XP, Nokta and Garrett. While we've expanded, we've never lost sight of what made LP successful in the first place—excellent customer service, expert advice and competitive prices.
Many detectorists will also remember The Newbury Rally, which we organised throughout the 1990s. The event regularly welcomed over 1,000 detectorists for a weekend of detecting, catching up with friends and celebrating the hobby.
Metal detecting isn't just our business—it's our passion. Our team actively enjoys the hobby, giving us genuine hands-on experience with the products we sell. Whether you need help choosing your first detector, advice on upgrading your setup or support after your purchase, a member of the team is always happy to help by phone, email, live chat or at detecting rallies and events across the UK.
Thank you for choosing LP Metal Detecting. We look forward to helping you make your next great find.
