Welcome to the Beaver County Detecting Club.  Feel free to browse our site and all of its pages including: valuable Club information, upcoming events, great picture galleries of Club events, and amazing finds by members.  These finds were located at various parks, camp grounds, and forests throughout Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, and Washington counties over the years. Contact us if you have lost something that needs found, or if you are interested in joining the Club.



At the July 5th BCDC meeting, founding member, Gary 'the Waddman' Waddell will be giving a presentation on the Blistool metal detector. It should be an interesting presentation of one of the DEEPEST metal detectors ever made.



At the August 6th BCDC meeting, members James and Tyler will be giving a presentation on 'tips and techniques to successful door-knocking'. A great way to open doors to new detecting sites. You don't want to miss this!
Club meetings are the 1st Thursday of every month @ King's    Family Restaurant, in Monaca, near the Beaver Valley Mall,    @ 7 PM. Guests are always welcome to attend.
2018 SPRING HUNT PREP: The BCDC Hunt Committee got together to prepare for the 2018 Spring Hunt. We had Ikes, Kennedys,  50+ prize tokens, SBA & Prez dollars, 200 mercs, Walking Liberties, Standing Liberties, Buffalos, Indian heads, V-Nickels, & many Barbers! Lesche & Garrett diggers, a Minelab ProFind 25, Tesoro gear, a White's TreasurePro detector, W.E. Treasures yearly subscriptions, a 'Mystery Chest', 'Mystery Tokens', & more! Over 2400+ targets to be dug up!

2018 SPRING HUNT, PRE HUNT: We had a great turn out for the Hunt! We had a lot of BCDC members and a few guests drop by early to help seed the hunt field. We got the prizes ready, took a few group photos for our sponsors, and prayed for 'no rain'. Everyone was ready for a fun day of metal detecting!
2018 SPRING HUNT, MAIN HUNT: There was a drizzle in the air for the 10:30 AM start of the main Hunt. A shotgun start & detectorists headed out to find 2,400+ buried coins & tokens in the seeded hunt field. It was a mix of luck, determination, & speed, as members dug the different tones & signals as fast as they could. There were a lot of full pouches at the end. 
2018 SPRING HUNT, FOOD & COINS: The Main Hunt was over. Everyone counted & separated their coins and tokens as they enjoyed a hot dog BBQ & the amazing BCDC buffet. Attendees brought covered dishes & there was so much great food. Hunters cashed in their tokens & silver coins & enjoyed some great conversation. The rain held off until the end of the event! Whew!
2018 SPRING HUNT, POST HUNT PRIZES: Hunters traded in their prize tokens for great prizes donated by our sponsors & purchased by the BCDC. 10 hunters found gold Garrett tokens. Each was good for a key & they got to try them out on the lock of the 'mystery chest'! Congrats to Toby, who won a full gear set-up including: a Minelab GoFind pinpointer, Tesoro pouch, knee pads, gloves, batteries, and a Lesche digger!
2018 4-COLOR HUNT: 4 painted black quarters were buried in the Main Hunt Field. Paul, Fred, Steve, & Bernie each found one. They qualified to enter a mini hunt field. They each drew a color. The first to find 4 coins of their color won! Paul was the fastest to find his colored coins for the second year in a row! Can Paul three-pete next year?!?! Silver coin prizes for 1st 2nd, & 3rd places!
2018 SPRING HUNT, MYSTERY CHEST: 10 people found a gold Garrett token that they got to trade in for a key. One key unlocked the lock! Larry, Terry, & Dale tried their keys but nothing. Toby's key popped the lock. He won a full gear set-up including: a Lesche digger, Minelab ProFind pinpointer, batteries, gloves, knee pads, & a Tesoro pouch! Congrats Toby!
