I'm telling you, one of the absolute best resources for us Detectorists is to become a member of your local Numismatic Club! Dues are $7/yr...We got a good little one here...Tonight we were treated to Banana splits even!
So heres the format...Mingle, trade, sell, talk..If you want, you can put things up on the auction table....Meeting opens with the Pledge of Allegiance..then the minutes are read, then the treasury report, then business and upcoming events and coin shows in the area coming up...Then a little 5 min break, then the raffle starts, after that the Auction and off you go....
Just a tremendous outlet For us as detectorists to have our finds evaluated, sold if you want, hunting areas gained, friendships with like minded people..I sold 9 dirt found war nickles for $10, a dozen dirt buffalos for $3, 19 dirt wheat pennies for a buck, and bought myself a Peace Dollar at the auction! Plus I pulled a BF Half for the Door Prize drawing, had a Banana split, drank a gallon of free coffee, got to fondle coins all evening for free!!
We detectorists are welcomed and not scorned at all! Its really a cool deal if you dont have a Detecting club or dont want to get involved in one...find a little Coin Club to go to...see some cool old silver, or take some of your finds to show around!
