We have a very informal club, where members, their guests and complete strangers are welcome to come along to club meetings and rallies.

What I do need to say is anyone that is into “nighthawking” or any other type of illegal detecting will not be welcome !

We wish to encourage the use of responsible detecting and voluntarily using the Portable Antiquities Scheme, so that the history of finds is available to all to appreciate.

As a club we meet in North Redditch on the first Monday of each month, unless this is a Bank Holiday and then we meet on the following Monday.

We book a room in the Abbeydale Working Mens Club, this is on Gibbs Road. Easiest way to find it is to go to the Abbey Stadium in North Redditch, drive South towards Redditch Town Centre, at the first roundabout turn left along Milrace Road. Follow this to the next small roundabout and turn left down Forge Mill Road. At the end of this road, turn right and first left down Gibbs Rd. Follow this down to the sharp right hand bend, just after the bend is the Abbeydale club on the right. When you go through the main doors ask for the metal detecting club, we have a private room in the back.

All of our rally sites are found by club members; usually sites where they are either not finding much, or fields that they have limited access to, due to crops always being on them. We try and hold a rally once a month, usually on a Sunday. For this a small charge is made which we give to the farmer.

Please feel free to come along, bring some finds if you are already detecting and have a chat over a beer.
