The group LMS Metal Detecting was formed around the year 1989 in Central North Carolina. While primarily traveling the western foothills of NC, we could often be found in Virginia over long holiday weekends as well. In 1999, we became more focused on the coastal plains of Georgia and South Carolina. This was around the time when we coined the term “Road Trip”. These were the days we often spent more time driving than Metal Detecting. The relic hunting was good, but it became clear we needed to expand our base. Two years later, in 2001, we moved our main operations center to Pawleys Island, SC, where we were better centrally located to our overall metal detecting sites from Florida up into West Virginia. Shortly thereafter, we moved again to our nearby current location, Murrells Inlet, SC. So our base location has changed a few times over the last 36 years, but rest assured, if you have old mailers or business cards with the name LMS Metal Detecting, you’re in the right place, and we welcome your curiosity.
