This organisation boasts it has 2,000 hero-members. If 2,000 detectorists are willing to give up part of their reward that is clear proof the rewards could be lower.<br /><br />Conversely, if the British taxpayer is effectively handing over reward money to people who are organising rallies the whole system looks even more ludicrous. <br /><br />I only know one (prominent) British detectorist with the brains to complain. Why is he silent these days?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
