About us
Our association is focused on sharing stories about metal detecting in the San Francisco Bay Area, advocating for additional support of metal detecting, and contributing to a cleaner environment for all.
Our members (detectorists) help locals find their lost precious items, clean up metal debris and hazards from public beaches and parks, and contribute to a better understanding of our history through the unearthing of artifacts.
If you’re a metal detectorist in the San Francisco Bay Area or you are just interested in learning more, sign up to become a member.
Meetings
We meet on the second Monday of each month. We currently meet virtually, but will be transitioning to in-person meetings in 2025 as the association grows – join us!
