The Sacramento Valley Detecting Buffs (SVDB) is
the metal detecting club for the Central Valley of California. The members represent a wide range of interests, including relic hunting, coin shooting, jewelry hunting, and gold prospecting. As a public service, members regularly clean up trash and found hazardous objects from schools and other locations during hunts. We are a not-for-profit club and welcome new members. Join us and find lots of support from the club as you learn about this exciting activity!
From weekend organized club hunts to giant competitive yearly hunts for all members, check out our calendar below to see what's coming up!
SVDB member Scott Newens recovered this lost wedding ring! Scott received an email from a man who’s wife had lost a gold wedding band in their front yard. They had been looking for it for some time but without any luck. Scott arrived at their home in about ten minutes ready to help! The grass was thick but Scott was able to find the ring in about two minutes. The couple was quite happy, relieved and grateful.
