Warm welcome to the web pages of the

 

Wyvern Historical and Detecting Society

 

Welcome to the Wyvern Detecting and Historical Society web site. We are a friendly club based in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK. We hold a Monthly Competition for members who attend our meetings. Categories for the competition are Members Own Sites Coin of the Month, Society Search Coin of the Month, Members Own Site Find of the Month, Society Search Find of the Month and Modern Find of the month.

Members are encouraged to bring along all find artefacts for inclusion and identification.

Pictures of these and other finds are posted on this site after the meetings.

Annually in January, we also hold a Find of the Year Competition from the previous year

The Society has secured the use of arable and pasture land soley for searching on by our members on society searches.

We are continually seeking search rights for new arable and pasture land for future society searches.
