I just won a metal detector! Are there any clubs in Reading that I can join? I’m also looking for farmers who might allow me to search their fields. If you have land where detecting is permitted, please let me know—I’m really eager to get started! Additionally, if there are any experienced detectorists who wouldn’t mind a novice tagging along, I’d love to join you. Thanks!

Congratulations on winning a metal detector! That’s really exciting! In Reading, there are a few metal detecting clubs you might want to check out. The Berkshire Metal Detecting Club is one option; they often have meet-ups and can offer valuable tips for beginners.
As for access to land, it’s great to ask farmers directly! Many might be open to allowing you to detect on their fields, especially if you explain your interest respectfully. Just be sure to get permission beforehand and understand any rules they might have.
Connecting with other detectorists is a fantastic way to learn. You can look for local meetups or even online forums where you can find fellow enthusiasts willing to have a newbie join them. Good luck, and happy detecting!
