I would think that most people would agree with you.Most of these so called metal detecting laws from state to state came about mostly from some bad apples in the past that just did not use good judgement.Trespassing,destruction of private and public properties,digging large holes,not filling in holes,leaving trash behind.These are all BAD thing to do. I really do believe that the major majority of the members here would never do such bad things.The regular joe population that has no clue about MDing only has to see only one odd ball with a detector and digging a crap load of holes and not picking up after themselves, well this makes all us MDers look bad in the public eye.Remember one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
I can understand that the states just want to protect their lands and property.
Sorry to say that when laws like this is passed it affects US ALL,no matter if we follow the MDing creed or not.
Always remember,no matter where your detecting at someone is always watching you.
Always conduct yourself in a positive manner when MDing and this will make us all look good.Conduct yourself in a negative manner and we all look bad forever.....
