By supportberkshire.uk 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!
