 |
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 Website's featured article for this month is: The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service Author: Chris Turner I’ve been metal detecting now for 37 years and my vision was to create a directory where metal detecting specialists can list their services to help people who have lost wedding bands and engagement rings...At beaches, parks, lakes & yards etc. www.TheRingFinders.com The reason for building this directory is so the public can find someone that can help them locate their lost jewelry and so the metal detectorist can earn extra income. The Ring Finders Directory for the metal detecting specialist is a place to offer your service, I don't tell you how to run your service, some charge for their service and about 97% of our members have adopted my way of working on a reward basis. People pay what it's worth to them and what they can afford, I've been rewarded very well at times and I have worked for as little as a photograph for my book of smiles, also a loaf of homemade banana bread. I too believe if you find a school ring you should do everything you can to find the owner. You'll have a good chance with the name of the school, dates and initials that are in the ring....However In the case of a wedding band or engagement ring how does one find an owner if the owner has given up on the search?

New Florida law affects public access to private beaches
Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill that could soon affect all beach-goers. The new law bans cities and counties from adopting ‘customary-use’ ordinances that give public access to private beaches. Only three Florida counties have done so, none in Southwest Florida. “Collier County, we’ve tried to get an open beach ordinance for years, but the county attorney is worried the beach front owners will rise up and throw lawsuits against us,” said Collier County beach advocate Graham Ginsberg. Sen. Kathleen Passidomo supports Gov. Scott on the issue because “it comes down to property rights.” Sen. Passidomo says she would rather have the courts decide because “it is appalling that local government could simply take away property” just so people can walk or sunbathe on the beach. But some beach front homeowners say they like seeing others take advantage of their beach. |
“There’s 54 units in the building — half of them come down and enjoy the beach on a weekly basis,” said Bonita Springs resident Bob Haberstroh. “They
do enjoy seeing the public down here — in activity out here. It’s an enjoyable thing.”
Many tourism agencies say the law could affect the number of people coming to Florida to enjoy the beaches. “We have to learn to deal with it now, and work with the beachfront owners,” Ginsberg said. “We aren’t creating any more beaches and there’s more and more people coming down because it’s our mountain range — our Sierra Nevada — it’s our great attraction.” The new law doesn’t change Florida’s constitutional law that requires the state to ensure “the public’s right to reasonable access to beaches.” The new law goes into affect July 1.
