Don't get me wrong - posting stories on "our own" forums is great. But in some ways its preaching to the choir, right?
In my opinion.... There should not be one recovery "feel good" story on this and other forums that doesn't also have an associated story in a local community newspaper.
For every story that gets published, there are 100 that go unknown. In the meantime, restrictions keep mounting based on faulty perceptions and bad apples. Why do we let this happen?
Just email your community newspaper with the idea. Many will POUNCE on it because they are evergreen (e.g. they can be used when news is slow.)
ps: I've responded further down the thread to the concerns. Mainly that detectorist stories should focus on the emotional recovery of heirlooms, not coins and cache hunts.
