BBC 'Nighthawk suspect arrested in field' BBC 9th April 2025
A man has been arrested on suspicion of illegal metal detecting [...] Norfolk Police said officers patrolling Methwold Hythe, near Downham Market, spotted activity in a field at about 02:30 BST on Monday. A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of theft. Officers said a metal detector and spade were seized along with a quantity of metal coins. The suspect was taken to King's Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning, and was released on bail until 12 June.Interestingly, perhaps the tide is turning and the message is getting through, this is the first such reportt that I have seen for ages without the cut-and-paste addition that "the majority of metal detectorisys are responsible law abiding searchers, reporting all they find increasing our knowledge of the past". Good. Because its not true.
