| February 2017 | Metal Detecting Hobby Talk News Brief Volume 8 Number 82 |
 |
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. |

What is a News Brief? The news brief provides a brief look into any news event. The intent of the news brief is to provide you, the reader, with news clips on 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 January the news stories listed in the MDHTALK News Brief are just a portion of all the hobby related news reported the past month. The news Brief is now available in Adobe PDF format, there is 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 is: I am new to the hobby. What Metal Detector should I purchase? This is a question that most of us have asked ourselves and continue to be asked by others interested in joining the hobby. I like many of you have been metal detecting for a while but still find it hard to come up with the best detector for certain types of detecting (coins, jewelry, relics, beach, prospecting) in part because new detectors are constantly becoming available from manufactures. So again, why is it so hard to answer this question? The detector companies have not made this question easily answered. Take a look at TABLE ONE on the next page. In table one there are 88 detectors from seven detector manufacturers. On the left side of the table a range of detector pricing in $100 increments is shown for the three groups of detectors: Multi-Function, Water and Prospecting. Placed in each column next to a price range is a detector model (number or name). Also on the left side of the table next to the price range is a RED ARROW pointing downward with the words PRICE, FEATURES, and TECHNOLOGY. Keep in mind: FEATURES plus TECHNOLOGY equal PRICE. This is not a complete list of detectors in the market place but a good representation of what’s available. Why it is so hard to answer the question: “What metal detector should I purchase?” Read Complete Article |
