Archaeologists Go the Extra Mile, and Detectorists?



I reported here at the beginning of February that after the bad publicity the Lenborough Hoard Hoik gave artefact hunting, in a show of good will, some UK archaeologists went out of their way to help polish up the image of the PAS-partners ('UK Archaeologists go the Extra Mile' PACHI  Feb 11 2015; see: 'Metal Detectorists - not all bad news'. They asked metal detectorists for "positive stories".
Stories about working in partnership on digs, of good practice and of adding to the historical record. The best stories will be featured on this website. We look forward to hearing from you, closing date is Friday 27 February 2015.
Since then, nothing has appeared. Could it be that there were no stories of best practice from metal detectorists submitted which were worth publishing? What happened?
