We welcome you to come and have your questions answered by members who will know the answer. Our members have knowledge of those mystery items you found. They can give you “where to hunt?” advice. You might find a hunting buddy for the future. 

Massachusetts Treasure Hunting Association (MTHA) was founded by members Ed Coyne and Jack Beth in 1981.
Our more than 97  members come from  55 Massachusetts towns or nearby states. Meeting in  Newton since 1981,
MTHA welcomes all metal detecting enthusiasts to share their hobby.

An annual Christmas party has become a tradition.

For most of our history, we have held an annual open hunt, organized in the past by  John Govoni who was  MTHA Vice President, our Hunt-Master for years and a great guy. John also ran a “Members Only” hunt at Hopkinton State Park.

We continue each year to invite all hunters to Open Hunt  in Milton each October.  All are welcome.
Our club members continue to organize trips together for the day or even weeks to explore together and find treasure in the USA and around the world.
