This site will inform you of our club activities, provide our club newsletter, list our scheduled events, answer many of those questions that both experienced and beginner detectorists may have, and provide links to various metal detecting websites including clubs, equipment manufacturers, treasure magazines, and other useful metal detecting related and informative websites.
