| August 2018 | Metal Detecting Hobby Talk News Brief Volume 9 Number 101 | |
 |
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. |

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 July 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: Metal Detecting High and Low Tides The definition of tides from Wikipedia website Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the moon, sun and the rotation of the earth. One of the questions one must ask is: What are the key causes and why are there tide variations from day to day? Generally there are four different tide changes for each 24 hour day of the onth: High Tide, Low Tide, High Tide, Low Tide with each tide change being approximately six hours apart. This is the usual tide pattern for any given 24 period, however, for some locations there may only be one high and low tide each day. The contributing factors for tide change are the centrifugal forces of the earth and moon rotation around each other and the gravitation forces of the moon and sun on the earth. Also the forces can be greater or lesser depending the distance of the earth from the sun and moon. For a much more detailed scientific analysis of tide actions go to the following website Our Restless Tides website This site provides a brief explanation of the basic factors which produce tides. There are five short chapters with diagrams and a explanation of the effects that time, distance, moon, sun and the earth's rotation has on coastal tides. Good site. The best way for a detectorist to gain real time tide knowledge for their area is to acquire a set of tide tables for the salt water beach areas that are of interest. Most tide tables will provide the detectorist with all of the information required to having a greater chance of detecting valuable finds. Read the complete Article |
