If you want to Metal Detect you would be well advised to join the National Council For Metal Detecting. |
PMDG is my local Detectorist Group, Abbey Shakoor (Group Organiser) is always happy to welcome new members. He's a great guy along with detecting raises loads for charity! |
The PAS is more than a database of finds. The local officer in your area will be happy to identify your 'treasures' as well as adding them to the National Database. |

Vincent Thurkettle runs courses on Gold Panning and Prospecting. Having been on one of the courses I can highly recommend them! |
There are a number of suppliers of Gold Panning equipment but this is where my kit came from. |
One of EarthWatches many 'eco' projects is organising Archeological digs. I got involved with the dig at 'Arbeia' a Roman site in South Shields. It's well worth checking out their site to see if anything interests you. |
