The Tri-County Metal Detecting Club recently celebrated it's 20th anniversary. Originally formed by a small group of men with an interest in metal detecting, it has grown into a family oriented club of over 100 members. Approximately 1/3 of our members are female. We have members ranging in age from as young as 5 years old, all the way up to where they won't tell their age. Our members come from a
s far away as Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Columbiana, New Castle, Pa. And Sharon, Pa.. Many members travel over an hour, just to participate in this club. Our annual dues are $20 per member with $4 for each additional family member. In the warm months, we meet at a pre-selected site, such as a local park, and hunt as a group. During the cold months, we meet on the third Tuesday of every month at the SCOPE senior center in Cortland, Ohio at 6:30 P.M.. At our meetings, we usually have a free, light meal, provided by the club, with members bringing side dishes. In September, we have our annual picnic and seeded hunt. Last year, we had a steak dinner cooked on the grill, and buried hundreds of coins, tokens, and jewelry for the members to dig up and keep. Many of these items were silver. In November, we have a full Thanksgiving style dinner, complete with turkey, provided by the club. In December, we have a ham dinner and gift exchange. We welcome guests. If you have a detector, or not, if you're a seasoned pro, or just interested in learning about detecting, this is the club for you.
