"...More whitewashing of what's going on:<br /> <br />"But the Government announced in December that a new definition would be introduced to protect treasure from being lost to the public."<br /><br />It's not "the public", it's greedy, graceless oiks. Why imply otherwise?<br />Brian Mattickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207831120680627468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-15174959588501713612022-01-01T00:28:36.037-08:002022-01-01T00:28:36.037-08:00"WE do not know how many artefact hunters act..."WE do not know how many artefact hunters actually dis stay indoors during the UK's lockdown" ...<br /><br />I think we have a good idea that a lot didn't. There's a press story that there were a big number of "garden finds" during lockdown but a moment's reflection will suggest that the detectorist isn't born who didn't give his garden a good going over to the point of depletion when he first bought a machine. So I think it's pretty obvious there must have been a lot of laundering by findspot relocation going on by those who had been ignoring lockdown. I'm sure PAS will readily agree.
