Focus on UK Metal Detecting: PAS Self-Recorders Will take Steps so You Don't Find Out Where Stuff is From

[...] From a self recording perspective I will be "protecting" all future findspots !!

Self-recorders taking steps so the PAS does not find out where stuff is really from rather defeats the aim of the PAS database. This is the whole reason why self-recording is not a good idea, passing data through the liaison officer is at least some kind of filter and check, if nobody is checking people like Mr Maloney can write any baloney they like in the "findspot' field. Any comments from the PAS itself in response? Don't hold your breath.
