Hucclecote Metal Detecting Club, Est.1974, based in Gloucestershire

Several people with a passion for history and metal detecting came together and formed the club in 1974 . Both Men and Women play an active role in the club

We have a good relationship with our local Finds Liaison Officer Kurt Adams who occasionally attends our meetings to identify and record finds we have found.

The club members attend several local events to show off their finds and talk to the public. We also raise money by letting people see what they can find in our buried treasure patch of seeded pre decimal coins and together with the sale of second hand books and other items we are able to raise money for our local Air Ambulance which we are passionate about.

Sometimes we are lucky enough to talk to land owners who have found our finds interesting and would like us to see what we can find on their land. We will always help people find items of metal they have lost if we can.

website : http://www.phoenixarchaeology.co.uk/
We are an amateur group who wish to investigate as much land as possible in the area around Banbury (Oxon) in order to map out the land usage and settlement from prehistoric times to the present day. We do this by document research, field walking to recover items such as flint or pottery and, wherever possible, we use Metal Detectors to recover buckles, buttons and coins ets which are dateable evidence.The items that are recovered are carefully cleaned, conserved and recorded. Objects of importance are then recorded with the Find's Liaison Officer for the area. This is all carried out in accordance with the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
Finds are then preserved by members of the society or placed in a museum in accordance with the landowners wishes. All information is recorded by area or farm and a copy of the file passed to the landowner. All our members work within our constitution rules and our health and safety policy, copies of which are available. The society and members are all insured with the Federation of Independent Detectorists, and have public liability insurance up to £5,000,000. Our group also offers a free search and recovery service to members of the public and farmers.
Our meetings are held every first Tuesday of the month at the Flowing Well Pub, Broughton Road, Banbury, Oxon and this includes talks and a chance to share information and discussion of finds.

Highland Historical Search Society- Based Inverness
My name is Len Pentecost-Ingram, you may have seen me often in Treasure Hunting or Searcher in an ad for cordless headphones standing near Loch-Ness . I have been running the Highland Historical Search Society since 1988.
We are a fairly small club of around 25 and hold an evening meeting at Whites Electronics Inverness every other month, and have a club search once a month. We find much the same type of stuff as most clubs but far less amounts due to the low population in the past around these parts. We, also like many other clubs have been involved with "Two men in a trench" and "Time Team" and countless radio interviews/press features.
Some of the highlights in the past for me have been working with archaeologists on an ironage site and finding a hoard .
I caught the detecting "bug"way back in 87' and have never looked back I ,still always enjoy that exciting sense of the unknown every outing and so far have never got tired of this absolutely fascinating hobby.

The Scottish Detector Club
website : http://www.scottishdetectorclub.com/

The Scottish Detector Club is Scotland’s oldest established club founded in 1977. The SDC meets on the first Monday of every month at 7.30pm within the Wester Hailes Education Centre, 5 Murrayburn Drive, Edinburgh, EH14 2SU. (Please note: no meeting held in January).

Everyone has a chance to air their views about the running of the club and most of all, we enjoy our meetings and digs.

Currently, there are 93 members, and our evening meetings are very informal. We try to arrange outings to farmland on Sundays whenever sites are available, usually in the Lothians and Borders areas, sometimes in Fife. We make a charge of £5 per outing which goes towards a donation for the landowner/farmer and helps to keep club funds healthy.

The club has been involved in many surveys assisting archaeologists at historic sites such as the Battles of Pinkie (1547) and Prestonpans (1745). Some of our members have appeared on ‘Time Team’ and ‘Two Men In A Trench’, so we think we have a good track record.

Membership runs from the A.G.M. in April until the end of March and currently costs £20 a year, £8 of this going towards NCMD membership and insurance.

Long Compton Archaeology Group
website : http://www.longcomptonarchaeology.co.uk

We are an amateur archaeology group which is part of the Compton District History Society. Our aim is to investigate as much land as possible in the area around Long Compton, Warwickshire in order to map out the land usage and settlement from prehistoric times to the present day.We do this by document research, excavations and field walking to recover items such as flint or pottery and, wherever possible, we use Metal Detectors to recover buckles, buttons and coins etc which are dateable evidence.The items that are recovered are carefully cleaned, conserved and recorded. Objects of importance are then recorded with the Find's Liaison Officer for the area. This is all carried out in accordance with the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
Finds are then preserved by members of the society or placed in the village museum in accordance with the landowners wishes. All information is recorded by area or farm and a copy of the file passed to the landowner.All our members work within our constitution rules and our health and safety policy, copies of which are available to members. The society and members are all insured, including public liability
Our plan for 2008 is to excavate a double winged Roman Villa and Medieval site.
The group also offers a free search and recovery service to members of the public and farmers.Our meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month at Long, Compton Village Hall and this includes talks and a chance to share information and discussion of finds.
