How many Objects are PAS "Finders" Finding and Keeping?

.
It is interesting to look through the PAS statistics for the self-recording finders. There is an inherent probability that many of them are collectors with collections (and the knowledge about the items) so the figures of items recorded in a year will give an idea about the accumulation of objects.

Obviously not all of the finds recorded on the PAS database in 2011 by Finder X will have been found in 2011, some of these people may be dealing with backlogs going back several years of non-reported finds. Likewise those who record just one or two may have many more objects at home, but they were just trying out the system (or boosting 'recorders' statistics for the PAS). Nevertheless these figures provide quite an interesting contrast with the figures for reporting of finds for 2011, where statistically one detectorist in England and Wales corresponds to just under eight finds in the PAS database, when it is clear that many will find this many recordable finds in a single weekend. So, what is happening to the rest?
