Metal Detectorist

Hello and welcome to the website!

I’ve always had a keen interest in history ever since I can remember.  The same can be said about metal detecting. But it wasn’t until my wife bought me a detector for my birthday, that I really understood the attraction to this hobby. There’s just something about listening for the bleeps on your headphones, and the excitement and anticipation when digging on a target. Not to forget the follow up when conducting the history of the find. It really is quite addictive! Another great thing about being a detectorist, is the community, and its willingness to provide helpful information and suggestion on all aspects of the hobby.  Hence this website.  This is my attempt at giving back to the community, and I hope yours too.  I look forward to your contributions to this site, as you pass on your knowledge and insight.
