Which is probably why the author of this text seems not to know what the "detractors" (actually critics) of artefact hunters are in fact saying. The text consists of the usual straw man arguments and anecdotal "evidence" ... Pathetic. You would think that after over thirty years of being at odds with the conservation lobby they'd actually know what it is the latter have been saying all along.
We are continually urged by the fluffy-bunny "let's all be friends and let them collect it all away" brigade to "listen" to the opinions of these artefact-greedy "heritage heroes". Let the artefact hunters show they can actually listen to the other side and comprehend what they are saying first.
And these are the ones that would have us believe them when they label themselves "the responsible ones"....
