Too Bad This Treasure Site Has A Political Component

[Loco-Digger]

Out of about 286 topics here on TNet you express your disdain for one. I appreciate that this site has a plethora of topics even though I basically only use about 10 of them. I do not come here for politics, I keep that on Facebrook.

Well Eastender, you don't have to look at forums you don't care for. Drop your charter membership and you won't see the political forum at all. I never agreed with a whole lot in that forum, but fun to argue with the ones who were internet 10 foot tall and bulletproof, but I have nothing to do with it. However, I support that forum being here, and the right of those guys to say what they believe. (No financial support) Mom told me never argue politics or religion with anybody, and she w

And just completely ignoring the political, Eastender, have you ever been down checking out the 4 Corners area?

I will argue with anyone except a madman, lest I become one.

My time out west as an archaeologist was spent in the high Mojave from Barstow to Death Valley, year-round conditions. But I did travel thru New Mexico, Arizona, and S. Cal. Not only impressive historical remains, but wildlife and plant life too. I saw many impressive snakes, especially the Mojave Green rattlesnake.

Intense things going on in that region from geology, UFO activity, to skin walkers. How about you? Have you spent time there?

I appreciate the interest and it is mutual. I have a graduate-level background in Natural & Cultural Resources Management and worked professionally as a field archaeologist in the Mojave Desert of Southern CA. Started by picking arrowheads in the cornfields of western NY State where I grew up. By the time I was 25 I lived and conducted field research (both environmental and archaeological) for several years combined on the big Island of Hawaii, East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), India top to bottom, Central Nepal to the Tibetan Plateau , and the Golan Hts. of Israel. I am currently a Scientific Consultant to The First Nations.

When my son was 16 he played bass in a local rock band. He performed at a famous small club where he ended up gigging a half a dozen times before going off to college. I became the house photographer covered the big National acts there and have many Grammy winning and nominated acts and members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That was merely a self-taught hobby for me.

I enjoy metal detecting because I find very nice and valuable objects while writing local history. I study historical maps, geology, soils, and even the physics of the machine itself. Mostly, an excuse to hike and be outside. And to think I divulged all of this personal info with disclosing my party affiliation or with a political slant.

Spent a few months in India and Nepal in 1992.
Trekked in Nepal, and was in Bombay the day the decided to blow the Stock Exchange and markets up.
The whole country drips history, and for months on end I dreamed of detecting the place.

I don't think you'll find any social media platform or forum where everyone is in 100% complete agreement with what's being said or posted. As the moderator stated, if you see political content posted where it shouldn't be, report it and let them take care of it. Stick with the topics you enjoy and ignore the rest.

There's probably some guy on a political forum that's unhappy because it has a treasure component.

I read books and still read newspapers.

Great. A word of caution though: If you're only getting your news from legacy media sources, you're probably mal-informed about current events.
