Focus on UK Metal Detecting: Serious Money to be Made


On an anti-archaeological metal detecting blog near you:
Farming Today [...]  neglected to inform farmers of the serious money to be made from  allowing legal, wholesome, and family orientated metal detecting rallies on their land.
Of course "nobody's in it fer the munny, innit?" but it just slipped out...

tax payer subsidised? Really? That surely is Treasure hunters who claim a "reward" for giving back to the British public what belongs to them all, their heritage. And then they have the cheek to say they are "not in it fer the munny"!

The author of this text writes of "the serious money to be made from allowing legal, wholesome, and family orientated metal detecting rallies on their land". I detect no "venom" nor "faeces" in what I wrote about, quoting it, here, only in a metal detectorist's mind.

Instead of attacking me from pointing this out, maybe he'd like to try and justify why this should go on, and on, until every single sensitive archaeological site in the country has been trashed by his fellow artefact hunters and collectors.

Can he?
