Does anyone remember the "good old days" when a metal detector was a little harder to come by and they were only sold by local dealers? The local expert trained the new hunter in use of the machine and he taught them the "Treasure Hunter's Code of Ethics"? Nowadays there are metal detectors everywhere. Cabela's, Sears, Harbor Freight Tools, Bass Pro Shops, Ace Hardware, Big Lots,. etc etc........man I mean everywhere! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I have come across a few "beginners" lately who don't even cover their holes or ask for permission to hunt. Most of the time they are using those cheap, mass marketed detectors that "you know who" sells. I would like to know what you all think about this. Thanks, RDF
