It's hard to imagine how a pastime, the majority of which is spent walking around various terrains and sweeping them with treasure metal detectors, could grow as big as it has. But grown it has, indeed. The numbers are ever multiplying.
Even with all the new rules and regulations, and some would consider, controversy surrounding the hobby, enthusiasts keep plugging on and finding ways to enjoys their hobby. As the sales of treasure metal detectors swell, so does the interest in taking part in the pastime.
Events that highlight the positive impact of metal detecting not only to individuals but also to the community are getting more common. Enthusiasts take part even without the possibility of keeping the products of their toil; sometimes, the hunt itself proves reward enough.
Group hunts are nothing new to treasure metal detector fans. It's a regular activity especially for members of metal detecting clubs. But group metal detecting events that team up with historical and restoration associations are popping up. Holding group hunts where all historically relevant finds are donated to the historical or preservation and restoration groups. These finds offer an important source for understanding our past.With all the restrictions being placed on people going hunting with their metal detectors, these events are a welcome opportunity to show that a great majority of metal detectorists are responsible hobbyists.
People's love of hunting with treasure metal detectors is driving more events to be geared toward education and responsible hunting. Being responsible means that you should respect the right of the land owner and not trespassing their property and most importantly adhering to the laws. Teaching young detectorists not just tips and techniques in hunting but also instilling an abiding respect for the environment and for history.
Also, difficulty in exercising their right to enjoy metal detecting, and in some places, even just carry along metal detectors has spurred enthusiast to band together and support the campaign for the Public Lands for the People, fighting to the right to public lands and keep them open for metal detecting along with camping, fishing, and other hobbies.
With such drive and support, expect more and more people to be trooping around all open places with their treasure metal detectors. Both in the name of personal enjoyment and in the service of the community and the environment.
