I may not be as clever as you with words ...Hi Paul <br />I may not be as clever as you with words but my argument is sound the land I detect on is ploughed every year, I get my finds recorded , I removed that post as I don't want to get into a slagging match with you . You are welcome to your views and myself mine <br />I did not hide my name I'm not sure if as an archeiologist you can see the names of finders on the database but if you can you will see I'm on there big time , I think you try and annoy people into not using the system to help your cause whatever that may be ?<br />But il just carry on detecting responabilly getting my finds recorded and enjoying a great hobby while you carry on spouting unimportant clap trap ( my opinion of you) doubt il post again as I just think you are not worth the time or are important enough to bother with but I do wish you good luck in what ever it is you do <br />Rob <br /><br />And it's en not an as we are on about spelling Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639413253547621426noreply@blogger.com
