The Weekend Wanderers Detecting Club arranges metal detecting days out for people from all walks of life. This friendly club is perfect for novices as well as experienced detectorists and is easy to join. So, why not explore our website & find out more about what we do, where we dig & see what we have found!

We normally meet up on Sundays & occasionally on Saturdays but also hold regular Thursday digs too. Our members come from all over the UK to our popular digs although most of the land that we search is in the counties of Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey.

Detecting usually starts at 9.30 am and continues until dusk & costs just £10 on the day with no charge for children under twelve
