Southwest Detectorist Metal detecting UK


Southwest Detectorist Metal detecting UK, Facebook page (address says its 'public', but that's not true, it is a closed group): Members: 3835, Administrators: Danny Patrick, Hammy Hunter, David Willett, Ryan Clarke, Shawn Chant. Date of formation of group: 2 July 2017.

 Administrators' Rules:

2 Be kind and courteous We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
3 No promotions or spam Give more to this group than you take. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren't allowed.
No upfront mention of a Code of Best Practice.

There is not a lot about it on the Internet. A Treasure hunting success story ("Whist on an organized dig with the Southwest Detectorist's Metal detecting U.K. I found this ...") for some reason has been deleted from the Minelab detector producer's page. It is interesting to speculate why. We learn on a forum that 'Most digs [...] cost £20 a pop to attend. Here's a not very attractive video about one of their events at King's Worthy near Winchester, how many of those finds can you spot in the PAS database?
