Our club is an association of persons interested in recovering
artifacts, coins, other interesting or valuable items from the past
and various historical research topics. The club originally met
at the Williamson County Bank in Franklin, later moving to Brentwood,
McGavock High School, Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Nolensville
Road, Woodbine Presbyterian Church and finally in 2005 to its present
meeting location. Officers are elected by the club and serve
two year terms.
New members are a key element in our club. We are
now over 100 members and growing. Meetings are
at 7:00 p.m. the first Friday of each month at West Nashville
Heights Church of Christ, 5807 Charlotte Ave, Nashville, TN 37209.
Guests are always welcome.
At each meeting members may enter their finds from the previous
month in a Finds-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
$20.00 for individual memberships and $25.00 for family memberships,
payable to the treasurer. The club maintains a small library
of books, magazines, maps which may be checked out for one month
at a time. A
monthly newsletter is sent to all members, or may be obtained
by out-of-towner's for an annual fee of $6.00.
Our club strives to improve the public image of detector
users and other amateur historical/collectors. We therefore
abide by the Treasure Hunter's Code of Ethics.
Our annual Club Picnic is the
club highlight of the year. We all get together with our
families for a picnic and qualified members join in a Treasure
Hunt.
