Regarding the condescending
Suzie and Bonnie Antiquity lecture that we all got about so-called "responsible and responsive metal detectorists", here's a
case in question from social media, just a mouse click away:
Mr Triker (an MCMD member it seems) may be very wary about showing the FLO what he's found, and concealing his location, it is a shame he's
less concerned about keeping his underwear to himself. This detectorist is doing... what many detectorists do, and the FLO is doing his job conscientiously. Suzie and Bonnie are not the ones involved in the down-to-earth implementation of their overseas academic fantasies.

Not sure what you're complaining about Paul.
ReplyDeleteAs an NCMD member, he is under no obligation to disclose the find to an FLO or anyone else or where he found it. I'm sure academic supporters of the English and Welsh system stress that.
