The Federation of Independent Detectorist is one of the two main national metal detecting organizations in the UK formed in 1983 as an alternative to the NCMD. On January 27th 2014, Colin Hanson, the founder and honorary secretary of the FID passed away. There are rumours on the metal detecting forums that the FID will be disbanded. Vignette:FID logo

and "FID to be Continued by Central Searchers?'" Sunday, 9 March 2014
