A PAS Program Here? Why Not? | Stout Standards

No, it will not work here. Anytime the subject of "permits" or the "British system" comes up on USA md'ing forums, people's eyes wax romantic, and they have images of just being able to run around, and never fear supposed bootings, hassles, etc.... I mean, think of it: the idea of a "permit" conjurs up images of just waiving that paper in front of anyone and everyone, and you get to run nilly-willy and dig holes, and take home goodies to display on your own mantle place. But it doesn't work like that. Anytime there's ever any place (very few by-the-way) that has any sort of "permit" system, it's more restrictive & silly that needs be. Stuff like "not around trees" or "on sandy beaches only" "and you can't dig". Or quite frankly, the program gets yanked later, simply because it's all-the-more reason for archies to scrutinize the subject, since it's always up for their "princely sanction" at annual meetings.

The British system is very mis-understood by USA hunters as well: All they hunt over there, is farmer's fields with permission. They do NOT hunt city parks (and perhaps not even beaches?). All public land is a no-no. So you'll never hear of British hunters hunting public parks for silver, like we do. WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? Of COURSE not. Now over there, perhaps it's not a problem, since they have SO much history, that any cultivated field has 2000 + yrs. of continual usage. In fact, those "pesky" new coins in parks (less than 300 to 500 yrs. old) are probably a nuisance anyhow, haha.

And let's be honest: With all the govt. cut-backs, bureaucracy, and headaches to start anything new, do you REALLY think that uncle sam wants to start yet another "program" ?? It's simply not going to happen. And it will only bring INCREASED scrutiny and restrictions, not "open doors" to go nilly willy anywhere.

Tom, if you feel so strongly about this, how about posting your comments on my blog?

 

[Dick Stout]

Very easy to do...the link is above....?

 

[Dick Stout]

You can easily copy and paste.

 

[liftloop]

Yea !

 

[Dick Stout]

Tom, is there a problem why you will not post your comments on my blog?

 

[spartacus53]

Tom has his own blog, it's called T-Net

 

[Dick Stout]

And.....?

 

[Dick Stout]

I am not trying to start trouble....just trying to figure out why people here can say things, but not care to share them elsewhere? Does that make sense?

 

[Dick Stout]

Cannot Tom speak for himself?

 

[pwcguy]

Give it a rest Barnum. Tom might not check the forum again till tomorrow.

 

[Tom_in_CA]

Barnum , I'm on the road right now with my android phone only. Will look into this more tomorrow.

 

[Tom_in_CA]

ok Barnum, I brought the text over to your blog, added some type corrections, and expanded on the notion some more.

 

[Dick Stout]

Thanks Tom....your comments are appreciated. You brought up a few things that I hadn't thought of, and are food for thought for sure.

 

[Tom_in_CA]

Thanx for making that available. I added some text to my thoughts there too.

 

[Dick Stout]

Please note...I changed my mind. Thanks Tom...

[spartacus53]

Geez, thanks Tom. Now he ran off and wrote yet another blog.

Tom, you best reply ASAP

 

[Tom_in_CA]

spartacus, I don't see anything there on his blog that indicates he's a proponent of bringing the "british system" here to the USA. So nothing to expand on or comment on there. Not sure what you mean then .

Tom, I'm yanking your chain
