How are CU metal detecting finds certified?

For purposes of awarding "best find" recognition,
how is it determined that a "find" is actually an
item that was discovered with a metal detector?

Is the honor-system in play, or are witness statements
required?

Thanks.

    I always figured it was on an honor basis. Otherwise how ya gonna know?

    The honor-system is used.

    Honor Plus a lot of us hunt with a partner (witness). In the past VTH3, I have nothing to gain by not being honest.

    If I reported finds even half as good as the rest of you, I'd be accused of lying lol

    marym, you could stumble onto a fantastic find at any outing so don't feel like you can't or won't be able to do it.

    I don't think anyone know if someone posted a cheat but the cheater him/herself.

    I would expect that everyone posts real MD finds here since there is nothing to gain.

    Thanks for asking that question I'm sure fellow members here once or twice wonder about that themselves.

    You're right Ken, I could stumble on to a fantastic find. And at the rate I'm going, I'm more apt to stumble upon the item then I am to detect it. lol

    It's like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play. Now get out to a playground or somewhere and get warmed up and ready for the summer digs.
