Norwegian Nail Find Unlikely in UK

A metal detectorist may have found yet another Viking ship in Norway! He discovered a large number of iron nails in a field, of a type consistent with those from a large ship. The archaeologists plan to investigate with radar next year.
It probably would never happen in England, most 'responsible' detectorists there filter out iron signals.  Among the 1,300,000 objects in the PAS database, there are only 228 nails in total, and 3 clench nails.So, how representative is that of the assemblages of all those 'productive' sites that are hoiked?
