The Middle Tennessee Treasure Hunters Club was founded in 1971 by a small group of metal-detector enthusiasts.   In 1983 the club changed its name to the Middle Tennessee Historical Research Association (MTHRA) in order to reflect the broader historical interests of many club members.   We have now come full circle and in October of 1999 we changed our name to Middle Tennessee Metal Detecting Club.   We realized that although many of our members do have historical research interests the name often confused folks who couldn't understand our primary purpose.   Our club now has well over 100 members and is growing monthly in members who share our interests.

It is our hope that you will find this site informative, educational and entertaining. We have included basic information about our group and sincerely invite anyone to attend our monthly meetings. 

Our next club meeting will be Friday, July 11, 2008. Please make note of the date change due to July 4th. Remember to come to our July 11meeting; bring yourself and a friend. Thanks to Carol Hall, there is new picnic pictures on our annual Club Hunt & Picnic page.
