This site will be focusing its mission in 2013. I will be reducing the “hobby blog” material and increasing the advocacy and research side of things.
The overall mission of the blog is to curate/host conversations related to advancing our hobby by increased credibility and dialogue. I will be reducing my regional focus on Kentucky.
- I will be hosting guest posts from hobby leaders and professionals in the detecting and archaeology field.
- I will be asking hard questions about advocacy organizations that exist – but don’t do much. And hopefully we can discuss solutions.
- Photographs from my hunts will be available at Instagram under “metaldetecting“
- Videos from the hunts will still be on my Youtube Channel.
- A new “Metal Detecting in Kentucky” tag will be available so my Kentucky friends can go straight to posts about hunts / laws / legislation here.
I like the new philosophy! Even though I don’t struggle with permissions in my location, I feel that a group with a united front would be an asset for the hobby!
Hope you have success getting this pastime back on track, especially with regards to the “supposed” national organizations, who have disappeared from the scene. They don’t appear willing to talk about a coming together, but I personally don’t see any other way. JMO.
