v
When do we meet?
Weymouth & Portland Metal
Detecting Club is held at 8:00 pm every third Monday of
the month at New Weymouth Police Station, Radipole
Lane (opposite Weymouth F.C.).
v How
do I join?
Membership is open
to all responsible detectorists who reside within traveling
distance of the club, and can regularly attend club meetings. We cannot accept membership from people who
live so far away as to make attendance of club meetings impossible. An annual
fee of £13 is payable on joining the club, subject to a satisfactory
probationary period of three months attendance at club meetings. Full membership is granted subject to
approval by the committee.
v Do
you have any club sites?
Various sites are
available to regular club members.
v
Who governs the club regarding finds?
We are affiliated with the National
Council for Metal Detectorists, and follow their
guidelines.
As a club we work closely with the Dorset County Council Metal Detectorist Liaison scheme, for reporting finds of
importance and always follow the guideline of the Portable Antiquities
Scheme. By doing this we help preserve our heritage for future generations to
enjoy.
Membership of the liaison scheme is open to all bona fide members.
v
I am a land owner, how do we agree on finds
and values etc?
If you are a
farmer in Dorset or South Somerset who would allow club members to search on your
land, we would love to hear from you. We are a responsible club, and we are
happy to share our finds on a 50/50 basis. Please contact the Club Chairman
with your details.
Who knows,
you might have a valuable hoard on your land...
v I
lost my wedding ring; can you find it for me?
Members are
certainly quite willing to give it a go, drop us a line and we will try to
help.
