Names to Remember Perhaps
it is because 2012 is an election year or maybe it is just “That Time” (regardless of the Mayan Calendar) three
names are showing up in the news pertinent to the hobby of metal detecting. One is the American
Great Outdoors Initiative (AGOI). If you are not familiar with this Obamaism it is time to get out the Google and start
studying. In a nut shell the AGOI is an effort to take more and more land out of the public domain for recreational
use and to set it aside for passive endeavors (does that include relic hunting, gold prospecting, metal detecting and gem
digging) NOT LIKELY but make your own assessment. If you are interested in retaining your right to detect take some time to
review this initiative before November. What are the other two names rising to headline status? It’s time to tune in
to Public Lands for the People (PLP) and the American Land Rights Association (ALRA). Both these groups are ascending stars
in the fight to retain our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are all familiar with FMDAC; it is imperative
to continue our support of FMDAC but it is also in our best interest to become more active in bolstering those in the front
line defense of citizen’s rights to detect, sluice, surface hunt and pursue the happiness associated with these wholesome
outdoor activities. More information will be made available at upcoming club meetings. In the meantime visit the following
web sites to draw your own conclusions on what is going on behind the scenes to both destroy and to save our American heritage
of exploration and self sufficiency: www.goldprospectors.org, www.plp2.org and www.landrights.org.
