Brexiter, Tommy Robinson fan, 'white British male' and self-appointed 'Somerset's best detectorist' Sean O'Brien has this to say about the FLO's excited announcement of the donation of an Anglo-Saxon gold pendant to the local museum
MASKED POLECAT. SEAN O BRIEN @SeanObr007 · 29 lip W odpowiedzi do @Kent_Finds i @MaidstoneMuseumBut of course, if asked, metal detectorists will say they are "not in it for the money, but the love of history". Some of them are lying. How many?
Lovely jubbly find, this is what it's all about, plus the money if we don't get screwed by the valuers
Here is Mr O'Brien boasting about his 'penatration' ("damp soil conditions y'know") allowing some destructively irresponsible deep digging.
The whole account makes predictable but depressing reading (unless he's a foreign-paid troll).
"not in it for the money, but the love of history. Some of them are lying. How many?"
ReplyDeleteMore than 90% (because less than 10% donate their treasure finds). Pretty simple really, basic maths.
