Meetings

The East Coast Research and Discovery Association meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:30 pm (except December, when we have our holiday party) at the American Legion post in Pompton Plains NJ. All are welcome — drop in and introduce yourself! Come for the refreshments, meet the members, swap metal-detecting tips, find out what’s for trade or for sale. Check out our Finds of the Month competition. We often feature guest speakers, and somebody’s always got a collection to show. We’re a friendly bunch, and it’s a great opportunity to learn from those who have significant experience in the hobby.

So join us! There’s no obligation to do anything except have a good time. Of course, we’d be glad to have you join the club if you’d like. Members get a monthly alert (via text or email) about upcoming meetings.

All are welcome to attend our meetings at the

American Legion Post #242
700 Newark-Pompton Turnpike
Pompton Plains NJ 07444

Our meeting place is convenient to Routes I-287, 23, and 46.
