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

The Website's featured article for this month:
Roaming Access to Public Lands has Disappeared for Metal Detectorist and Others
The Ideal Situation is to have complete access to public lands with no restrictions but alas that is far from today's reality.
Today's Reality is that more and more public lands are being put behind man made barriers. These barriers come in the form of laws, regulations and
rules that prohibit or limit many personal outdoor activities on public lands.
This is the biggest single issue facing many out door activities (recreational metal detecting, gold prospecting, fossil and mineral
collecting, rock hounding, off road vehicles, etc). Access to public lands is not just a metal detecting issue but is also the single most important
major issue for the many outdoor recreational activities.
Why are more and more public lands being put off limits to metal detectorist? Metal detectorist are being pushed off of public land because the hobby is
considered to be destructive by many public land managers, archaeologist and nature preservationists.
