Apparently a US coin dealer is telling an artefact collectors' forum that "the world of metal detecting is "not what Barfy [sic] would have us think it is"...". That is rich coming from an individual who has amply demonstrated that his knowledge of anything connected with archaeology and British artefact hunting and collecting can be written on one side of a very small coin envelope with a lot of space round the edges. Anyway read what David Knell has to say on the matter, and decide whose thought-processes are lacking (the author of the PACHI blog or the dullard dealers who always try to dismiss without understanding the points made here).
