Brisbane Metal Detecting Club Newsletter

Yesterday Roger sent me the latest newsletter (May) from the Brisbane Metal Detecting Club called the "Gold Seekers Newsletter". Their motto is Perserverance - Patience - Practice.

Seems the club is quite active and the newsletter made for some good reading.

Thanks Roger.

Portable Antiquities Scheme

The Portable Antiquities Scheme is a voluntary scheme to record archaeological objects found by members of the public in England and Wales. Every year many thousands of objects are discovered, many of these by metal-detector users, but also by people whilst out walking, gardening or going about their daily work. Such discoveries offer an important source for understanding our past.

This website provides background information on the Portable Antiquities Scheme, news articles, events listings and access to our database of objects and images.

Here you will find all the quarterly newsletters produced by John Winter of the UKDFD team. Makes for some interesting reading.

The UKDFD is an initiative by members of the metal-detecting community to promote good practice within the hobby. It is an easy-to-use, friendly and supportive online facility for detectorists to record their finds and ensure that the information is preserved for future generations.
