South Manchester Metal Detecting Club, SMMDC

South Manchester's club draws from both sides of the city boundary, covering Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and its group runs to around 2,100 members. Judging by how it introduces itself, this is a club that doesn't take itself too seriously.

There's little published detail on meetings or dig arrangements, so use the contact links to ask what joining involves and where the next outing is.
