The club also sponsors a volunteer group who donate their time by helping Law Enforcement locate weapons and other types of evidence at crime scenes.
The weekend following the club meeting
is usually field trip time. The field trip can be anything from a day at
the beach detecting, to a weekend on the club claims located in the Rand
mining District in the Randsburg area. Where the club members can dry
wash for gold or detect for nuggets.
