FLO Peter Reavill has been going up a bit in my books lately, not only did he this week politely answer a query of mine without referring it to Bloomsbury like the rest do (if they answer at all), today he writes sensible stuff about ethics addressed to tekkies. Most of the rest of the FLOs are jobsworths that apparently would not dare:

If you are attending this #rally at the weekend - please note this urgent #ArchaeologicalAdvice from
@PasWiltshire
@WiltshireMuseum
#ResponsibleMetalDetecting is more than just finding cool old stuff and reporting to
@findsorguk
Too right it is, as Nigel Swift, I and a few others have been saying for a long while now, totally unsupported by those 50 PAS folk actually paid from the public purse to do (proper) archaeological outreach on Portable Antiquities issues. Of course, he could have said "
if you were going to go.. read this and reconsider".
