HI there -

Well, all you have to do then is provide the records which show these figures are "wrong". Its simple really. But until you do, the HA figures stand unchallenged - but challenging the pro-collecting lobby to make a case. Go ahead, do it; don't moan about "feeling insulted", get on with making a case. But do it somewhere else please.
Errm...forgive me for interjecting here - but considering that you've contributed bugger-all tangible to this website, if you are gonna speak here, get rid of that arrogant attitude, or simply go elsewhere. Full stop!

Paulus, I am sorry if it came over that way (and that I've not been so active on TMA recently, didnt know anyone was keeping tabs).

Paulus appears to disagree with my own view that TMA is not the ideal medium for "metal detectorists" to come over from their own forums to dismiss the significance of the HA figures and use their customary tactics against those who raise such questions. If the tone of the posts by the three "metal detectorists" in this thread does not disturb you (Paulus singled me out but did not mention them), then by all means let him welcome other "detectorists" to join in.
