Metal detecting on Hollyoaks and the Archers. Not a mention of recording objects and they also get their Treasure defn wrong! Research?This rather raises the question of whose fault this is, the BBC's or the PAS. Who is charged with delivering the message to the public, the BBC or the PAS? This might be taken as a symptom of too much time talking to "metal detectorists" at their clubs and rallies, not enough time informing the wider public it would seem. By the way, who is the FLO responsible for Ambridge and why are there no objects from here in the PAS database either?
