Hucclecote Metal Detecting Club
Welcome
About our Hucclecote Metal Detecting Club
Our Club and its Members
We are a small group of people with a passion for history and metal detecting that came together and formed the club in 1974 . Both Men and Women play an active role in the club and we now have 25 members.
Links with the Portable Antiquity Scheme
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 within the Portable Antiquity Scheme.
Recovery of Lost Items
We will always help people find items of metal they have lost, if we can.
Local Events and Fundraising for Charities
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 both the farming charity RABI and our local Air Ambulance charities, of which we are passionate about. At Christmas we have a collection for The Salvation Army too.
Land Owners and Permissions
Are you curious about the history of your property and land?
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 are always looking for new sites to explore, if you own any land around Gloucester and the surrounding area and would like to discover what history may be lurking beneath the surface, we would love to hear from you.
Unlock the mysteries of your land with the Hucclecote Metal Detecting Club and join us on a journey of discovery.
Fully Insured and Responsible Detectorists
All our club members are fully insured through the "Association for Metal Detecting Sport" (AMDS) with Public Liability Insurance cover of £10,000,000.
We understand the importance of protecting your property and will always adhere to the "Code of Practice for Metal Detecting in England & Wales" as defined by the Portable Antiquity Scheme (PAS) and also subsequently adopted by the AMDS.
