Guests are welcome to our monthly meetings

Trying to decide what equipment you might need? Wondering what people find?      Are you new to detecting?  Want to learn more about techniques for hunting?

We have an extensive library of books on topics we might need to identify items we find. Our experienced hunters  share their passion and experience.

Our meetings are open to interested new hunters.   We have monthly raffles and refreshments for all 

Group members are invited to enter finds on the Monthly find table, and earn points towards winning “Treasure Hunter of the Year”.
All members vote for their favorites. If you like to hunt or are interested in learning more to help you with your hobby please come. Family members are always invited to come and watch and listen. If you are wondering if you “know enough” or have enough experience, you do!
We welcome you to come and have your questions answered by members who will know the answer. Our members have knowledge of those mystery items you found. They can give you “where to hunt?” advice. You might find a hunting buddy for the future. 

Massachusetts Treasure Hunting Association (MTHA) was founded by members Ed Coyne and Jack Beth in 1981.
Our more than 97  members come from  55 Massachusetts towns or nearby states. Meeting in  Newton since 1981,
MTHA welcomes all metal detecting enthusiasts to share their hobby.

An annual Christmas party has become a tradition.

For most of our history, we have held an annual open hunt, organized in the past by  John Govoni who was  MTHA Vice President, our Hunt-Master for years and a great guy. John also ran a “Members Only” hunt at Hopkinton State Park.

We continue each year to invite all hunters to Open Hunt  in Milton each October.  All are welcome.
Our club members continue to organize trips together for the day or even weeks to explore together and find treasure in the USA and around the world.
