We were recently informed about an organisation called Combat Stress that helps recuperating soldiers that are suffering with post traumatic stress disorder.
It was suggested to us that metal detecting might be therapeutic for them. A team of volunteers raised the necessary funds and several metal detectors and ancillary kit was duly purchased for the soldiers sole use.
We now have a system in place where the soldiers can attend one of our digs free of charge and try their hands out at one of the most engrossing hobbies out there.
