This evening we attended the Forest of Dean Metal Detecting Club monthly meeting and were honoured to be presented with a cheque for £440.50, after being chosen as their Charity of the Year 💚
It was lovely to meet everyone and see their fascinating latest finds, including an exhibit dating back to 1250 BC.
We were also joined by Kurt Adams from Bristol Museum, who spoke about how finds are officially recorded and added to the archaeological database, helping to advance knowledge of the area’s history.
The club meets monthly at The Orepool Inn and always welcomes new members.
A huge thank you to Claire for inviting us along — your continued support truly means so much to us 💚
