Medieval Broach found by Ian Carter
Check out the recent finds made by club member Ian Carter along with the settings he was using with his Minelab detector.
News Flash - The second part of the story of finding the Frome Roman Hoard is now here.
The Club outing on Saturday 24th July was a great success, with 24 members that enjoyed an afternoon
detecting in lovely weather resulting in three hammered coins being found: a Saxon strap end and another small artefact.
The find of the day was won by Gordon Read for his coin, a Queen Mary groat, LIS mint mark, 1554.
We had a raffle that was followed by a super buffet with more than enough food to fill up the hungry club members.

Trowbridge & District Metal Detecting Club
was formed in 1976 by 3 people one of whom still regularly
detects and attends all the meetings. The club has grown in to
one of the main metal detecting clubs in Wiltshire.
For the full history of the club read this article by Dave Crisp
our secretary.
The club has members of all ages and some members we may need
to carbon date to find out their real age!
Most members have been detecting for many years
and have attained a vast knowledge of detecting and its
associated activities and are a great source of help and
guidance to new members.
The club holds a meeting every month where members
are encourage to bring along their finds for the monthly
competition.
Members are always active and this is confirmed by the number
of quality finds that are shown at most meetings.
The meetings are regularly attended by our local Finds Liason Officer who provides
information on finds and records them for the The Portable Antiquities Scheme if
appropiate.
The address of the Monthly club meeting is:
