The Scottish Detector Club was formed in 1977, and it proudly stands as Scotland’s oldest metal detecting club. Since then, the club has continued to grow and promote the hobby throughout the country.

In fact, the main aim of the club is to promote the hobby of metal detecting to the general public. Furthermore, we aim to provide practical help and advice to anyone who would like to explore this fascinating pastime. As a result, many new members have discovered a rewarding and educational hobby through our guidance.

In addition, we organise regular club outings throughout the year. These trips mainly take place across the Lothians, Borders, and Fife regions. Occasionally, we also arrange weekend excursions to rallies in England, which allow members to meet and share experiences with other enthusiasts. Therefore, our activities offer a perfect balance between local exploration and wider adventures.
