Our club is now officially on
Subterrix.
Subterrix is an advanced research and analytics platform designed specifically for metal detecting enthusiasts and history hunters. It replaces guesswork with data-driven intelligence by combining historical archives, satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence.
Key features and tools on the platform include:
-
Strata Research Engine: An AI-powered search tool built specifically for finding historical records, land data, and site identification references.
-
Site Prediction & History (Deepstrike / Property Re-Con): Uses dozens of data layers (like historical maps, census records, and aerial photos) to predict high-value sites and surface active demolition permits before sites are destroyed.
-
HuntCast: Scores real-time conditions for your specific area using live NOAA weather, soil drainage data, and tide forecasts.
-
Permissions Management (Access Plus): Subterrix can research land ownership, verify eligibility, and professionally reach out to private landowners on your behalf to secure legal permission to detect.
-
Item Recovery & Marketplace: Features a matching service to help people connect with background-checked professionals to find lost items, as well as an escrow-protected marketplace for authentic artifacts.

About Ohio Detectorists Association
The Ohio Detectorists Association (ODA) is a club of avid metal detectorists. We represent members from Southwest and Central Ohio. We are located in Waynesville between Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus Ohio.
The interests of our members span the entire range of metal detecting, including coin shooting, park hunting, relic hunting, and everything in between. We are all about saving history through the use of metal detectors.
We are a metal detecting group only!
Some of our members are novices, and some are experts, but all are willing to share their experiences and metal detecting tips, and help out others who are just starting out in the hobby.
Ohio Detectorists Association (ODA) is heavily involved with the community finding lost valuables for folks in our area, offering metal detecting services to Law Enforcement, and working with Historical Societies and local museums.
You are more than welcome join us!
Hope to see you at our next meeting.
