The Oregon Treasure Trail Society was formed in 1982. It was started by five avid hobbyists who each put $5 into the kitty and declared themselves an official club. They set out to provide an organization that would unite people together with the same interest in metal detecting, whether it be coin and token hunting, relics hunting, or simply a passion for finding interesting treasures of the past.
Today, we continue to provide a wonderful environment for those interested in this great hobby. Our club provides an opportunity to join with others and enjoy spending time on outings and sharing experiences. Everyone is welcome to attend one of our meetings.
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 p.m. for social hour and at 7:00 p.m. for the meeting. Come early and socialize with members from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Setup begins at 5:30pm.
Meetings are held in the upstairs meeting hall at:
American Legion Post 1:
1830 SE 122nd Ave. Portland OR 97233
