Ask Kellyco how many detectors they sell in the USA per year.
Ask GPAA how many members they have.
Ask Western and Eastern Treasures how many subscribers they have.
Ask Treasure Net how many are on this forum.
Let us know, I would be interested!

Not to be a smart@--, but that's like asking how many people own a coffemaker in the U.S. Unless you tallied up all sales of detectors and tracked all sales of used detectors, how could you ever know the answer? Plus, some folks have numerous detectors.

50,963 T-net members
1219 online so far TODAY

And a detector club in the next county from me probably has had over 200 members in it.

A lot of detectorists out there....enough now that laws are popping up everywhere against the hobby

It seems like we have enought people to maybe start pushing back against laws that
hurt our hobby. Maybe have other detectorists show up at city hall with us and bring
all the trash they have removed from parks. Maybe share ideas that have worked, I
mean it is OUR country, doesn't belong to the vote searchers. Maybe eventually we
should get some legal representation as a group. Take a look at PLP (Public Lands
for the People).
Just something to do with all these people.

Good idea Rich. I vote you as president of the new Diggers Of America organization.

Good idea, but Diggers of America ! Bad connotation !! I think we would be better off throughing in with Public lands for the people. Frank
