Rhondda Artefacts & Research Enthusiasts

Detecting has deep roots in the South Wales valleys, and this Pontypridd club has been part of that since 1988. Nearly four decades on, it draws members from the local area and further afield.

All ages and experience levels are welcome, so you don't need years of metal detecting behind you to fit in — turn up curious and you'll be fine. Contact the club for membership details.

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.
