Join the Milford on Sea Metal Detecting Club

Have you ever wondered what lays beneath the land surrounding Milford on Sea?

Well, local resident, Simon Wright is looking to set up the Milford on Sea Metal Detecting Club for both social fun and in the quest of finding local history and just perhaps, buried treasure!

Beginners & experienced detectorists welcome to join the adventures to see what we can be found.

Simon already has a couple of places where the club can go metal detecting close to Milford on Sea. He is also always looking for friendly local landowners who would look favourably on giving a local club permission to search their land.

Metal Detectors come in all budgets, and there are plenty which are not expensive to purchase, so giving it a go is quite accessible. 

Milford on Sea was an established Saxon settlement (then called Melleford) and recorded in the Domesday Book. Also, many tales persist of smuggling in the area, so who knows what is waiting to be discovered.

Ideally members would reside within 5 miles of the village, to make it a local community activity.

If you have watched the charming and funny BBC show 'Detectorists' you will have got the feeling that it can be a fun and relaxing hobby. 

We look forward to reporting on future finds as the club members unearth some local history. 

Lost Item Recovery Service: During the summer the club offer a lost item recovery service free of charge for anyone unfortunate enough to misplace items on our local beach.

If you are interested in joining the club, would like more information, or if you are a local landowner happy to provide permission for the club to detect on your land.
