I think you counter should actually say 9,000,000+ artifacts recovered and saved from destruction.
Hello again. If collecting of artefacts and metal detecting was dependent on the registration of collections, how many of those nine million artefacts would actually be retrievable IN those extant collections?

Where are these objects now, and in what way - if nobody knows where they are or whether material metal detected in 1978 or 1983 actually still exists somewhere, is that actually "saving" them? Some objects (including funnily enough Durotrigian coins apparently from an unrecorded hoard) are turning up on Polish internet auction sites and being bought up by goodness-knows-who. Have they too been "saved"?
