Britain’s most humiliating detecting weekend ever

Heritage Action take note that Britain has banned ivory sales but still encourages erosive artefact hunting ('British ivory trade banned but artefact humiliation remains' 07/10/2017):

Detectorists from 11 European countries have just had two treats in Norfolk (courtesy of the unfragrant “European Council for Metal Detecting”): a huge rally where they helped themselves to Britain’s history and a conference where they discussed how to persuade their own countries to allow the same. So possibly Britain’s most humiliating detecting weekend ever!
