Heritage for Ransom

.
Heritage Action (Crosby Garrett helmet sold, museum loses out, hero gets rich) had some text to go with the picture, but they deleted it, the picture speaks a thousand words. Despite still basking in the undeserved glory of ex-Minister Lammy's infamous words about "unsung heroes of the heritage", metal detectorists, their PAS partners and their supporters are going to be hard pressed to spin this story as a triumph for the hobby. The museum losing it is a step towards the greater good. Time to take a look at the useless UK "heritage" laws that allowed something like this to slip through the system.
