This is the club I am in they meet at 8.00PM at Doveton senior citz Hall on the second wedof each month except Jan/Dec.
They go to Golden triangle on monthly camps except Dec.
The cost to join is $40 for for family membership.
They are a non profit club all money raised is used by club for events BBQ's, Xmas breakup, Family days etc.
The club has plenty of people that don't live near Doveton that only atend camps.
They are more than happy to have people attend a camp to see if the club is for them.

Was hoping someone else may know about them .... may no longer exist. have checked out some links found elsewhere to a few of these but the links (or clubs) seem to have gone, as the saying goes, west.

Think R Ron is in that area, maybe he can doorknock to see if anyboby's home.

Bendigo, Geelong, Sunbury, Mulgrave are all to far away .... probably need something in the west, even an informal pub meet up.

Cheers Tom

Hi Guys,

I have just this week bought my first detector and are hoping to join an active detecting club.
I was looking at PMAV but after going through their website and finding a large majority of links not working I thought they may not be to active anymore.

I live in Eltham Vic so if anyone can let me know of a good active club that would be great.

Wooly

The PMAV isn't an active detecting club but rather an association that tries to look after hobby prospector's interests in Vic. Still worth supporting in my opinion.

Some Victorian clubs:

Thanks mbasko,

hi does anyone know of prospecting clubs in the south east vic thanks

Micheal

Victorian Fossickers - sorry can't help with any details.

Further south is a Mornington Peninsula detecting club ...

A couple of others to consider -

Victorian Seekers Club, Waverly area of Melbourne.

PMAV East Gippsland, based in Stratford

Thanks for the info ill look them up

Gday all. Just wondering if anyone is aware of any prospecting clubs near Geelong. I was told there used to be a Geelong prospecting club however I'm unsure as to whether or not they are still active.
If there are any prospectors out my way keen to go for a swing at some stage let me know.
Cheers

G'day Walshie, I live half in Geelong and half in Warrnambool so am keen to meet others from the geelong area, just getting into detecting and have purchased a machine so keen to get out and about around the Geelong area. cheers Fletch
