Our club is an association of persons interested in recovering
artifacts, coins, and other interesting items from the past. The club originally met
at the Williamson County Bank in Franklin, later moving to Brentwood,
McGavock High School, Woodbine Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Nolensville
Pike, West Nashville Heights Church of Christ and now, in the fall of 2015, to its present
meeting location.
New members are a key element in our club. We now have 82 memberships (single and family) as of January, 2014, and continue to grow. Meetings are
at 7:00 p.m. the first Friday of every month at Truxton Trust Building, 4525 Harding Pike, Nashville TN, 37205, 2nd floor (across the street from Kroger).
Guests are always welcome.
At each meeting members may enter their finds from the previous
month in a Find-of-the-Month Competition. Programs
normally consist of talks by club members or invited speakers,
slide or video shows, artifact displays or demonstrations of new
metal-detecting products.
Annual club dues are
$30.00 for individual memberships and $35.00 for family memberships,
payable to the treasurer. A
monthly newsletter is sent to all members.
Our club strives to improve the public image of detector
users and other amateur historians/collectors. We therefore
abide by the Treasure Hunters' Code of Ethics.
Our Annual Club Picnic and Hunt is the
club highlight of the year. We get together with our
families for a picnic and several hunts for planted coins and prize tokens.
CLUB LIBRARY
Our club maintains a library of books on various aspects of metal-detecting and related hobbies and historical topics. Current holdings are listed below. Books may be checked out by members for one month at a time. See one of the club officers to borrow a book.
