Thats over 7 years though.

With the scheme only covering the whole of the UK from 2003, any idea how many of those have been in the last calendar year say?

If we also knew the number of detectorists x average number of reportable finds found in a year, we'd have some idea of the number of finds disapearing off the radar.

apologies - you might have to rework the calculations....

according to the PAS website it says over 140,000 finds recorded since the Scheme began.
