• Metal Detect My State

    Do you have questions about the hobby of metal detecting?  Don’t know where to turn?  I remember when I was new to the hobby how difficult it was to find the answers to my questions.  If only there was a website dedicated to metal detecting where I could get information about the area I lived in. 

    Metal Detect My State is just that website.  You will find a page for your state listing metal detecting clubs, dealers or stores, rules and regulations and maybe even some ideas on where to hunt and how to get permission.

    Metal Detect My State is a new site that has just recently been set up to answer the questions for people new to the hobby and also to be a place to follow the laws, rules and regulations that limit our hobby.

    If you would like to help with this undertaking please feel free to contact me.  There have been national organizations that have tried to keep the members of the hobby informed and they have all failed due to the scope of the task and lack of communication.  I am not calling Metal Detect My State a “National Organization” but I hope to bring the members of our hobby together to assist each other and to keep our hobby from being regulated out of existence.

Even if you never plan to hunt TVA property it could be an awful precedent! Also spread this to any detectorists you know.
