King's Lynn Metal Detecting Club

The club consists of enthusiastic metal detectorists young and old or as not to offend lets just say all ages, from beginners to the experienced.

Our meetings are held once a month in the town of King's Lynn at the Workers Club Church Street. We pride ourselves in having a friendly informal club where members come to socialise and to get their finds recorded. A member of the Gressenhall Archaeological Unit usually attends our meetings and is on hand to offer help and advice.

Our club has an excellent relationship with Gressenhall Archaeological Unit which can help benefit our members relating to information on the past history on a particular site. We are also encouraged to collect pottery and other non-metalic finds which can add strength to occupation occurring on our sites.

As a group of detectorists we feel it is important to make an effort to record our finds, thus creating a better understanding of our past. Even if you do not wish to become a club member we can still help you and give you advice on how to record your finds, so feel free to contact us.

Local detectorist finds Bowl Hoard

After getting a large deep signal, in the middle of a field most people may have disregarded it as iron, but in this case at 600mm deep was a Bronze Couldren containing a roman ceramic dish and storage jar. The cash of pots were excavated, recorded and taken to Gressenhall Archaeological Unit.
