Gloucestershire Metal Detecting Club G.M.D.C

GMDC organises metal detecting digs and rallies across the south of Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, using permissions agreed with local farmers and landowners. The club tries to pick sites with genuine history behind them and decent finds potential.

Membership is free and open-door — everyone's welcome, no hoops to jump through. The group also doubles as a place to post finds for others to see, and they're happy to take questions by email if you want to know more before turning up.

Thinking of joining? Get in touch with the club directly using the links here — and if you're still choosing your first metal detector, sort that before your first dig.
