Time for ano...Quantify "a huge amount". <br /><br />Time for another poll on your blog maybe? How many of your readers are exclusive beach detectorists, how many go to beaches as well as fields, and how many detect on land most of the time? <br /><br />From my observations of the forums, it is not a huge amount writing in with "what I found on the beach yesterday" or their anecdotes about beach detecting. It also varies seasonally, people go beach detecting when they can't get on fields with crops or there are few rallies.<br /><br />Not all detectorists in the UK live within easy travelling distance of a beach. <br /><br /><br /><br />I do not think it is me "getting mixed up" but you who are trying to muddle the picture.Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-85854629526019141802014-02-13T01:06:42.978-08:002014-02-13T01:06:42.978-08:00Paul you forget that a huge amount of uk detectori...Paul you forget that a huge amount of uk detectorists search the beaches and estuaries like myself. Finds from these places mainly consist of modern coinage and modern jewellery losses. For some reason you have got a little mixed up with thinking 8000 detectorists are all traipsing around history rich farmland.
