A bit of history from 25 years ago this month. It is hard to believe it was that long ago.
I don't know if you are old enough to remember this, but the incineration of 76 men, women and children by an agency of the government should not be forgotten.
Wikipedia says, The incident began when the ATF attempted to raid the ranch. An intense gun battle erupted, resulting in the deaths of four government agents and six Branch Davidians. Upon the ATF's failure to raid the compound, a siege lasting 51 days was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch. During the attack, a fire engulfed Mount Carmel Center. In total, 76 people died, including David Koresh.
Civil liberties matter! Thomas Jefferson wrote that a well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to democracy.

Here is a shocking headline.
Stone Age Scandinavians may Have relied on fish.

Now that is a shocker uncovered by the endless work of a team of archaeologists. Who would have guessed?

I've been talking a lot about bottles lately, and told my story about collecting bottles that were redeemed for two cents back in the fifties or sixties, and I also mentioned that it is something that is done today, partly for ecological reasons. You can drop your cans and bottles in machines to receive credit. Some Scandinavian countries, who still eat a lot of fish, pay more than you might expect for redeemed bottles.
Here is an article about collecting cans and bottles and how much you can make doing that.

Think if you redeemed all the cans and bottles you came across or dug up while detecting. Maybe you wouldn't have become rich, but at least you would have helped clean up the beach.

One reader who contacted their representative about the beach access issue received a brief reply saying essentially that the concerned reader was wrong, but the representative failed to make any attempt beyond his one incomplete sentence reply to explain how or why.
Do you get the feeling that your elected representatives don't take you seriously? It seems that some of them think the public is little more than an inconvenience.
In my opinion the citizens are being run over by the public servants. Homes of non-violent cooperating citizens are broken into in the middle of the night and any residents hand-cuffed (imagine what that would be like) and the homes ransacked, immense data is being collected needlessly, and speech is arbitrarily restricted by self-appointed guardians such as Facebook, who have proven to be the fox in the hen house. Too many bad actors are hiding behind the power of their offices and are desperate to protect their own interests and crimes. If you think this isn't about metal detecting, you are wrong. If they can decide to confiscate guns, they can decide to confiscate metal detectors or anything else.
