Support The Hobby
I would like to point out to the News Brief readers that there are a number of organizations taking on the challenge against various types of
legislation dealing with metal detecting and gold prospecting. MDHTALK's recommendation is to visit their website and give strong
consideration to joining the fight. In some cases your support may be to send emails and / or write a letter to specific legislators or
to provide funds to help with the fight. Here are the organizations and a link to their website.
Go to the Join The Fight MDHTALK Webpage to read more about each of these organizations
