Detector(s) used
All Garrett: Ace 250 (two), AceApex, VX-9. Have owned just about every Garrett ever made. First three detecter I made myself, with the first one in 1962.
I've lived in Roswell, since 2001. In the intervening years, I have known only two other detectorists. One in 2003 (now deceased), a neighbor in 2006 who went with me once (now moved away), and one who went with me this year (2026). That is a slim number!

A couple of years after I moved here, I did find out about a club in Albuquerque. One of their requirements was that I'd attend at least three hunts, before I could become a member. There was also a requirement about club meetings, but I don't remember what that was. Albuquerque, is a three-hour drive each way, so my answer was... No way Jose!

There has to be others in the Roswell, area, and perhaps this post will drum up a few others?
 
Yeah im a detectorist near Alb and cant seem to find a buddy either. I used to pass through Roswell all the time when i worked in Carlsbad, but that was many years ago. Ive never been able to get ahold of any club in Alb, i tried a few years ago but never got a response. Well what can you do, just keep on trucken i reckon. Good luck bud and happy hunting...
 
Hi, I’m from California but I think member GirlWithWolf is from New Mexico, but I’m not sure which region and if she does metal detecting. she also hasn’t logged on in about a month. Maybe you could send her a DM or something :dontknow:
 
Im in Mexico, but I would like to drive there to explore 😎
