Over in Shropshire:
We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1 · 3 g.
Very concerning a Commercial Metal Detecting Rallies Business is running a 50+ persons Rally in Shropshire this weekend.
This is reportedly "Nobal [sic] Detecting", run by Cai Anthony, and it seems that in order to create optimal conditions for rtefact hunting on a field that's already been 'done over' before, the landowner is going the extra mile for them (probably reflected in ticket money and attendance).
And from that commercial exploitation in the past, the PAS database has just eight records from the years 2010-20: COIN (5), BROOCH (2), STRAP END (1)... and from that 'Best Ever Roman Field' and every other field in the parish, just THREE Roman finds have been reported. Let us therefore again add the adjective 'irresponsible' on that account too to what has been going on here.
