Rainbows End Metal Detecting Association 2.18

Who and What is REMDA?

In a nutshell: The purpose of REMDA is to unite, promote, and encourage metal detecting through education and instruction in the recovery and preservation of historical facts, relics, and artifacts. It is the intent and charter of this association to develop and maintain a positive image for metal detectorists and their activities through the performance of selected community service projects, club events, and through the adherence to the REMDA code of ethics.

And the more detailed answer:

Rainbows End Metal Detecting Association was formed in 1981.

Our club exists to promote and carry out the fascinating hobby of metal detecting. From its humble beginnings it has grown to be one of the largest metal detecting clubs in southern Ontario.

Through out the year some of our meetings may have a guest speaker giving a talk relating to the hobby. We also conduct club business, discuss upcoming events, tell personal metal detecting stories, have a break, and then run the ‘Finds of the Month’ board, where members bring along their finds to display and have the rest of the members vote to determine the best for the month in several categories.

Like other metal detecting clubs we carry out the practical side of the hobby by arranging several club hunts through the year on beaches and in parks. These hunts are restricted to members only.

From time to time we are also contacted by private individuals to help them search for lost items. Many of these searches result in items being returned to their owners.
Where Do We Meet?

The Society meets regularly on the second Wednesday of every month at Branch 622 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Stoney Creek, Ontario at 7:30pm. The meeting is usually held downstairs in the auditorium (but occasionally it is held upstairs in the hall beside the bar). The Legion is located at 12 King Street East in Stoney Creek.
