The kind of publicity this hobby can do without . . . . a MUST READ!

[Andy Sabisch]

A great example of the publicity we do NOT need . . . . . you have to side with the National Park Service on this one!

I definitely side with the NPS...and you're right... the publicity is exactly what the hobby DOESN'T need

Its amazing how far people will go for a Personal gain or an Addiction. Very terrible thing to read no matter if you like MD'ing or not. This kind of thing just turns more noses against the honest person.

What a terrible thing for the hobby for sure.

NOT good...too bad there's not some way to "get the word out" that most detectorists would never consider "pillaging" private property...but that fact will not be known. What WILL be "known," in the minds of most folks who read such articles, is that "metal detectorists are bad."

Sad...

How did this guy get away with it for so long?

One year and a day. Congradulations on your new felony record.

This is just one guy that got caught. There are more.
