Historical Points System

Redditch Historical Detection Society 2010
Click here for Current Points Table

Points to be allocated when items are put in the display case. Points are given to one single item. Member to decide which item to enter for trophy, It is the members responsibility to identify find and which time period, this will be confirmed by the committee member who is judging. Any amount of finds can go into the case, but only one will be judged for this trophy, the rest will be judged using the club voting system that we have always run, This system will not be altered in any way, The scoring system leaves plenty room for debate. But this system will ensure that all members finds will be given points. There will be two lists for judging one for Coins and one for Artifacts, this will in no way interfere with the general system we are running now. Fossils have not been included in the judging because they are not a metal detecting find. The FLO will award a further 2 points to what she judges to be the best coin/ artifact. If a coin/artifact as exceptional qualities a further 2 points will be allocated to item of any age.
