Kingdom of Mercia Metal Detecting Club (KMMDC)

Myself and 3 friends have started a new club called the ‘Kingdom of Mercia Metal Detecting Club’ (KMMDC). We’re based in Birmingham and will be organising rallies in the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, and possibly Derbyshire and Warwickshire. We’re currently building our membership and hope to have at least 30 members by the end of August (we currently have 11). The link to our new forum is: (removed broken link - Carol K) to your local clubs page (or similar).

We also have a Facebook page at: (removed broken link - Carol K)

Regards,
Chris Cooper
KMMDC Secretary and Forum Administrator

Good luck with your club. I also hope it embraces the PAS, and that everyone is encouraged to report finds.

Wessex Searchers

May i introduce a new UK club? The Wessex Searchers. We kicked off last January. Have had 15 club digs so far. The club is organised by, and for the members.( Following a mass resignation from a previous club)
The link shows some of our finds this year

Should any of you visit the West Country - Somerset, Devon , Dorset, please get in touch. Cant promise superb finds , but can guarantee a great day out with some great people- well, most of us, anyway! :grin:

PS The thimble on 3rd Sept was mine - 14c-15c. Well pleased
 
It sounds like you've done well Keith. I belonged to a club for many years,
in the South East of England. Over a period of about 6 years, it went down
hill very quickly. Too many rogues, and those more worried about selling
their finds to the highest bidder, than being interested in the history of their
finds..
