Metal Detecting Clubs by State
Local clubs are where most hunts start — they secure the land, plant the fields, and announce dates to members first. This directory lists 226 clubs across 44 states. Every one was checked by hand: the club's own page has to load, be about metal detecting, and show recent activity. Clubs we could not confirm are left out rather than listed on a guess.
