Welcome CARE-NC!

Coastal Artifact Recovery of North Carolina was formed in 2010 when a handful of  hobbyists started the club in an effort to provide an organization that would unite people together with the same interests in metal detecting and the search for treasures of the past. We strive to provide a fun and educational environment for those interested in this great hobby. Our club provides an opportunity to get together with others, spending time on outings and sharing experiences.
Everyone is welcome to attend one of our meetings. 

CARE-NC is dedicated to:

  • Uniting individuals who share a common interest in the sport and pastime of using metal detectors to search for coins, jewelry and relics from the past.
  • Educating ourselves in the art of collecting and preserving our heritage, and expanding our knowledge of this country's history through research.
  • Perpetuating, through mutual agreement with State and Local Historical Societies, the preservation of antiquities for future generations.
  • Broadening our acquaintances with others who share our hobby, and welcoming all who join us in friendship at our monthly meetings and other activities.
