Club members organise rallies where we hold a competition to see who can find the best coin and best artefact for the day.
At the monthly club meeting we always have a display cabinet showing our best finds of the previous month, and it would be unusual not to have Roman coins, Medieval hammered coins, We are also very fortunate to have Angie Bolton (a Finds Liaison Officer from the Portable Antiquities Scheme) come along to every second club meet. As a club we wish to encourage the close links that this valuable scheme has bought about between responsible metal detectorists and archaeologists. All finds that may be over 300 years old should be voluntarily handed over to the P.A.S. , with the find spot details, for recording and measuring before being returned.
We are very greatful for our silver trophy that has been donated to us by Sponsor Mike Longfield, pictured next to his carved roman column top, Mike has traded detectors from his Coventry home for over 32 years and gives the sport outstanding support, most definately the best place to purchase your new and used detectors.

Guests are invited along to all our rallies and club meets as long as they abide by the few sensible rules we have.
Please feel free to use the links and see some of our recent finds from the counties that make up the centre of the UK.
