"Responsibility" Seen Through a Skewed Mirror

On a metal detecting forum near you (Re: local/county councils that assist with our hobby Post by geoman » Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:16 pm)

Perhaps there could be a case for withholding finds data obtained from private land and willingly given to the PAS, from those councils and local authorities who ban metal detecting access to the land they administer. Just a thought ,but it might focus minds a little. Perhaps it would be worth mentioning to some of the FLO's.

What he means is the use of these data by bodies to provide protection of sensitive sites through the planning process. So much for tekkies wanting to help 'protect the archaeological record', these grabby bastards just want to take, take take.

Yes, yes, let's mention this to the FLOs, maybe they can explain conservation to the grabby oiks.
