From a small group of enthusiasts, Chatham-Kent Metal Detecting Club
has grown to more than 25 members and continues to grow.
Our club is an group of people interested in recovering artifacts, coins, other interesting or valuable items from the past and various historical research topics. Club meetings are at 7:00 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month at Evangel Community Church at
76 Sandys Street in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.
Guests are always welcome.
At each meeting members may enter their finds from the previous month in a Finds-Of-The-Month Competition.  Programs consist of talks by club members or invited speakers, slide or video shows, artifact displays or demonstrations of new metal detecting products.
The club maintains a small library of books, magazines, maps which may be checked out for one month at a time.   Our club strives to improve the public image of detector users and other amateur historical / collectors. We therefore abide by the Code of Ethics
