Hello from Cordova (suburb annexed by Memphis). I am very new to MD and we are still looking for a good detector and some "experts" in the area. I have been searching for a local MD club in the area.....so far, NOTHING ! It seems to be that way with everything, not just Metal Detecting, in the Memphis area. Either no club at all or a lot of little clubs that work against each other and don't ever accomplish anything big. I started calling this "The Memphis Attitude". I recently heard a MD podcast produced by a MD magazine, talking to a MD pro in Nashville, and they made a remark about "The Memphis Mafia". I don't know exactly what they meant, but it did NOT sound good. Sounds like Memphis had a bad reputation in the MD circles. Can someone provide ANY information about a MD club in the Memphis area and maybe prove that Memphis does have a good active MD group?
