A GROUP of keen metal detectorists will be fundraising for ex-service personnel.

Hampshire History Hunters are hosting a metal detecting gig near Baycroft School in Fareham, from 8.30am to 5pm, on Sunday, August 20.

The event is in aid of four charities for former service personnel – SSAFA, Combat Stress, Help for Heroes and The Veterans Charity.
