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

what was taking place in the hobby last month. To read the whole story select the Article Link or go to
MDHTALK.org.
There are more news stories placed on the MDHTALK website for May the news stories listed in the MDHTALK News Brief are just a portion

a link at the top of this webpage. The news brief is no longer emailed; it is only available on the MDHTALK website and can be downloaded.
The Website's featured article for this month:
Club Metal Detecting Training Guide - A metal detecting club's mission is to have elected officers and volunteer staff, grow
it membership, hold a monthly meeting, establish an annual event, and create a fun and positive atmosphere for its members.
An additional important responsibility that is often overlooked is the training and education of its membership. This
education and training should be directed toward how to practice the hobby legally, in a non-destructive manner and on proper use of
metal detectors. This article will high light a few of the training programs that a club should consider and offer to its membership.
A metal detecting training program that is offered by a club in the "Dos and Don'ts" of the hobby displays a strong commitment to
the local community. A trained membership knowing the where, how and why attributes of the hobby will keep the hobby in the good graces
of the local recreation department and private land owners.
Resources for membership training can usually come from the membership itself. Some club members have been practicing the hobby
for sometime and have an extensive knowledge base of information. These members are a good source for the clubs training program and
leadership. Every effort should be made to document any training program for future use. One easy way to document any training
program is to create a video of the training event and / or document the training event in a power point presentation.
