HISTORY OF THE CLUB

scroll Nearly twenty years ago a small group of metal detectorists, about 10, came together to form the Lancaster Treasure Hunter & Coinshooters' Club. From this humble beginning the club has grown and evolved over the years. Today it is known as the Lancaster Research and Recovery Club and is over one hundred members strong. The club was originally begun as a way for these detectorists to share what they had found, stories, support, and fellowship. Today, the LRRC is still providing support to it's members, sharing stories, showing what we have found, and fellowship.

The LRRC, recognizing the need for an organization of treasure hunting enthusiasts, prescribe and uphold the following principles:

That metal detecting is a rewarding and beneficial hobby to be shared by any individual or family.

That all metal detectorists share a common responsibility to themselves, and to the metal detector fraternity, to respect the rights of all landowners and public officials in the preservation and protection of their property against trespass or undue damage through carelessness on the part of metal detectorists or other individuals.

That service to historic societies, law enforcement agencies, and charitable organizations, is an integral part of a metal detectorists code of ethics.
