Taking Farmer-Fooling to new levels: Be on the Lookout for 'PAS 7 DUG'
Mr Hamer, I am reading what it says. It seems they couldn't afford a proper 'T'. So, you say it's PAST DUG up and pocketed by Priscans? Maybe. Are you a Priscan?
Hi Paul The vehicle belongs to me and the registration number is as simple to read as I pointed out. It may be worth your while to ask us for information before letting your assumptions run wild on here and presuming as you do that we are all in it for the money! I assure you this is not the case. Robert
Seven is simple to read as seven. A 'T' can be read as 'T'. Pocketing artefacts is not about the money, selling the items from a personal collection (or superfluous to it) would be though.
You would be pleased to know that no items recovered by myself have ever been sold and any items of treasure we have reported have been donated to the Museums that expressed an interest. Regards Robert
Yes, I think we may assume that the non-Treasure items that are not sold have ended up somewhere. Of are they 'hedge-fodder'? We have PAST DUG and what....?
Try PAST DUG
ReplyDeleteNothing to do with PAS, again your presumptions are incorrect.

Good we've got that sorted out. Now, the worthless non-Treasure items that are not sold, in what way is that not 'being pocketed by priscans'?
ReplyDeleteMore assumptions.....!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat you haven't got Mr Barford is evidence...just your opinion!!
ReplyDeleteAn opinion that from what I can see nobody shares with you!
Yes, I guess having all those primary school kids to whom you exhibit your stuff adoring you has gone to your head.
