Becoming a Charter Member?

[Ricklt]

I'm considering upgrading my TNet membership, I've read others posts that say you can use the search if you are a charter member.My question is, is that the only thing you gain? I enjoy the site very much, and am looking through it almost every day. Don't mean to sound cheap I've just never seen anyone tell much about the benifits.

There a re a few other thing's Marc has changed for Charter Members not listed here.

If you have the 20 bucks - it's well spent I think.

I have also been thinking of becoming a Charter Member. If you pay the $20 does your year start then or is it based Jan.-Dec.??

I'm glad I became a Charter Member. The search function is certainly handy, but the other extras I don't tend to use as much, although I may use the Gallery someday.

This site is so well laid out and attractive that I didn't mind giving back a little towards it.
It's especially easy if you have PayPal.

**EDIT**
You start immediately after joining

Your year starts the day you pay so you do get a full year, not just til the end of the calendar year. It is definitely worth the cost especially with Marc adding more and more all the time for the charter members. I think the reason a lot of folks think the only difference is the search option is many of us have said "the ability to use the search option alone is worth the $20" but there are far more benefits to having a charter membership than that. Honestly.....if you were to just look at the information alone you have already gleaned from the site and the entertainment and enjoyment I don't think any of you can claim $20 a year is too large a price to support this site. Just my 2 cents! Of course the dancing and potluck in the charter members only forums is fun too! lol

I don't use the charter members only features very often. I joined to lend my support to keeping the website up and running. A magazine related to treasure hunting will cost you $40.00 or so a year. Read it and that's it. But like you say, come to Tnet and find something new every day. The cost: 5.47 cents per day. A good bargain in my opinion..

Ditto for me.

It's not the Charter membership stuff for the reason I "joined".

It was a donation to keep this site up and running. It's peoples time, money and resources working so we can enjoy others stories, share their finds, discuss almost any topic, even to the local level.
We can have people answer our detecting questions, or identify that oddity we found in the middle of a pile of cow poop out in some farmers field.

We can share loves and hates, discuss politics if that's your thing...find valuable links to maps and photos.....

All packaged neatly in one place!

Heck...$20.00 ain't nothing for this!

That's my 5.47 cents worth anyhow.
