Hi, Jane,
A step into this potential minefield is to be applauded - especially by Heritage Action - as I believe that this campaign is - sadly - important and neccessary, if only to keep the problem afloat in the minds of the goldfish majority. However, the fly in the ointment is always going to be the self-regulation of a tranche of people who have little or no regard for the relationship between their find and the context in which they found it: magpies in wellies. I have, therefore, come to the conclusion that only an outright ban of the hobby will bring any effect. (I do know that some great finds have been discovered as a consequence of detectorists, and some great work has been done, but the weight of the con's is greater than the pro's IMO).
Good Luck - I wish I was benificent as you lot!
Peace
Pilgrim
