Welcome!
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 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.
If you’re a metal detectorist in the San Francisco Bay Area or you are just interested in learning more about the hobby, please join us for a meeting!
Our current meeting schedule
Virtual Zoom meetings on the second Monday of every month. Next Meeting: April 17, 2023
(April 10 is Easter Monday, so it will be the third Monday of April)

If you are not yet a member, sign up to become a member, or if you want to attend a meeting first, sign up for a meeting on Eventbrite to get reminders for the next meeting.
