I do know you say they should be protected but I'm struggling with this Kevmar the Konservationist concept.
How come detectorists "wouldn't dream" of touching the first lot but spend half their waking hours combing the records and studying Google Earth to find the second lot?

Do try to answer Kevmar. If you seriously want to convince anyone here that your hobby isn't horribly erosive questions like this have to be addressed.


Firstly ,and sincerely meant
in all the years Iv'e crossed swords with you Nigel
that is the nicest thing you've said,
konservationist ,even misspelled I'll go along with that.
You fail to realise or won't accept there is a massive difference
in responsible hobbyists,and others who arn't i.e
some who use a detector as a tool for illegal means,
we know that,and abhor this and will 'run out of town'
anyone found to be doing this,and bringing the hobby into
disrepute,
the big difference in what you or I seem to agree on
is that I for one detect on ploughed land ,
land where it's annually power harrowed,
things are scattered and smashed,and what bits do come up
in one piece,would certainly not survive the next years cultivation,
what's wrong with that?
but even this you won't condone.
Can only be good surely, rescuing like this.
If you try to pick what I say to bits
looking hard to see the negatives then so be it
as there arn't many these days that will entertain you,
regards,
Kevmar.
