It would be interesting to be able to break this down in more detail, but that may not be possible without going into internal PAS documents (would make an interesting undergraduate thesis topic, charting the effects of Covid on Responsible Metal Detecting, using records from 2017-March 2019 and then March 2019 to the present).

Here there has been some major work done by Dr Anna Booth and Phil Hughes in Suffolk (mostly Medieval and Roman finds), Martin Foreman (Roman and medieval mostly), Adrian Marsden and Andrew Rogerson (Medieval, Post Medieval, Roman), the team at SWYOR (Medieval, Post Medieval, Roman), Simon Maslin (Medieval, Roman), Lisa Brundle (Roman, Medieval). Other FLOs have been lagging behind, this policy leaving big holes in the archaeological records when metal detectorists have been continuing hoiking (including on rallies) and no records have been made.
