No publicity is good publicity for metal detectorist. Trust me a lot of these "found ring" stories etc. do nothing but put us in the archeologist sights. All parks here are closed to detecting because an archeologist seen article in the paper about a guy helping the police find a gun. The archeologist assumed the parks already had "no detecting" laws, however when he read the article he realized they did not, and took it upon himself to have them put in place. So thanks to an article no one can detect the parks. Had the story not been published we would still have thousands acres open to us. We need to stay out of the limelight. For those who think these guys are funny and entertaining, you probably won't be thinking that as more and more parks are closed, because trust me, these guys do make us look bad.
