The Hayling Detect Club

Hayling Detect is a metal detecting club based on Hayling Island, Hampshire which is along the South Coast of England.  The club was founded in April 2022 by Wayne Trumper who had the idea of starting the club after talking to some local detectorists and soon realised a club was needed in the area.

Hayling Detect now successfully runs regular digs in and around Hampshire, with our membership steadily growing.  We also hold occasional open digs.

  • Regular digs on Wednesday & Saturday

  • Friendly advice from fellow Detectorists

  • Tea, Coffee and snacks provided in our dig tent

Land Owners?

Hayling Detect are looking for land in and around Hampshire & West Sussex for a small number of detectorists to carry out and investigate the land to build up a history portfolio of through the ages.

We follow a strict code of conduct laid down by the NCMD and the portable antiquities scheme (pas).

If you have fields, pastures or cultivated land we would love the opportunity to spend a little time detecting.  We offer a payment to the land owners and we are fully insured. If you are interested please contact us.
