I've been harping on this for a long time. All I can say to the younger group who've discovered this wonderful hobby. And, desire to have it around long enough for them to have a "career" of finding treasures. We had BETTER start policing ourselves! If we don't, then all of us will suffer when some big shot decides it is in the best interests of the majority of the people, to stop the use of detectors on any public ground. If you don't think it can happen, you better take a good look around you and you'd better do it quickly.
I have enough private permissions to last me the rest of my life. Of course, I am closer to the finish line nowadays. So, It won't stop me from enjoying the hobby.
Not an original thought/idea but, it has become a VERY pressing concept recently. Those bad holes need to be repaired, not just complained about and left to be found by some official. The trash needs to be picked up, regardless of who finds it AND....biggest of all, we better start keeping an eye on other detectorists we see hunting. Then, SPEAK UP, or even report them if they're too big for their britches! It will be better for us to turn them in then prove Mz/Mr Bizzybody right.
