testimonials
Our hobby has to be based on trusted relationships with the Landowners and Farmers who grant us permission to detect on their land. Everything we do as a club is based on this fundamental tenet:
- how we liaise with the farming community
- how we manage our membership,
- how we conduct the detecting days
- how we liaise with the authorities and governing bodies
We have many testimonials from local farmers and other organisations/charities that have benefitted from our responsible detecting activity. Here is just one from a large scale Berkshire farmer, that we have visited for a number of years.
“Following a professional approach we decided to allow the Maidenhead Club to detect on our Farms. They fully respect all our stipulations and have reported a wide variety of fascinating finds, including five gold Treasure items. On the basis of this experience I am happy to give them a positive reference .”
