| From The Portable Antiquities Scheme website (http://www.finds.org.uk/news/hawkshead.php) Hawkshead review of the Portable Antiquities Scheme 2004 <i>"Phase 2 of the Portable Antiquities Scheme in 2003-04……………………Around 30,000 finds were recorded: 68% were reported by detectorists and 32% by others"</i> I presume "others" to include the full range of archaeologists? <i>"Taking part in 252 finds days attended by over 13,000 people"</i> and…… <i>"Around 2400 finders reported their finds to the Scheme"</i> From the report: (http://www.finds.org.uk/documents/PAS_Review_Report_Final.pdf) "FLOs will have been in regular contact with around 4250 club-based metal detectorists in 2003-04. To place this in context, Treasure Hunting magazine has a circulation of <b>14,000</b> which provides some index to the size of the population of interested public." Now, for a worse case scenario, what's 14,000 divided by 2,400 and expressed as a ratio?
