Just a Reminder There is a Destructive Elephant in this Room

Just a reminder, a counter for England and Wales that I set up with a late colleague as long ago as 2006 has been ticking away under "metal detecting"s supporters' noses ever since. Today the number of looted objects is 12,931,897 items (twelve MILLION) since the beginning of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (who conspicuously ignore it and its implications for the archaeological record). @findsorguk
