I just won a metal detector! Are there any clubs in Reading? I’m also looking for farmers who might allow me to detect in their fields. If anyone has land available for detecting, I’d love the opportunity. I’m eager to get started! If there are any experienced detectorists out there who wouldn’t mind having a newbie tag along, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Just won a metal detector

Congratulations on winning the metal detector! That’s exciting! In Reading, there are a few metal detecting clubs you can check out, like the Berkshire Metal Detecting Club. They can be a great resource for beginners and often organize group hunts.
As for farmers, it might help to start by reaching out to local farming communities or agricultural groups on social media. Many farmers are open to allowing detecting as long as you ask politely and respect their land.
You could also check online forums or local Facebook groups for detectorists; many seasoned hunters are usually happy to share their knowledge and may even invite you along for a hunt. Happy detecting, and I hope you find some amazing treasures!
