Welcome to the American Metal Detecting Association Online. This website is our newest tool to keep detectorists and small-scale miners up to date on issues that may affect you as a hobbyist. The News Flash page is a treasure trove of information of new issues and even some old ones. You will without a doubt want to check out the Hunt & Events page where you can get all the latest details about upcoming AMDA events. News of other organizations involved in the hobby of metal detecting will be posted from time to time, so check out the Links page for those other organizations that may interest you. The Photos page will contain recent hunt winners and some of the “finds” found using a metal detector. If you should need to contact a member of the AMDA Board, go to the page titled Contact AMDA. Your input is always welcomed so feel free to contact us.

No one enjoys the hobby of metal detecting more than those who use their machines and realize the coin or artifact they have just uncovered has some value or history to it. Remember detectors are used most everywhere -- in the water, on a sandy beach, in plowed fields, or over piles of cobblestones. Our new website is a great resource for learning more about metal detecting whether coin or relic hunting, the site where you can select the type of detector that will suit your needs, a site where help can be obtained to identify a recent find, or to share experiences with others.

Enjoy the hobby and be a responsible detectorist -- by filling in those holes you have just dug! The hobby has its benefits to society and our good deeds will not go unnoticed. Please do your part to help preserve the hobby for years to come and we will do our best to keep you informed. Thanks and visit our website often.
