The approach is apologetic throughout. Never once does he discuss that detectorists are COLLECTORS as though that is irrelevant to what they collect and what they then report of that. But then that is typical of all of them (Chester-Kadwell, Robbins, Walton too). They are all taking what turns out to be a very superficial view of the fundamental issue, all the more disappointing here as Brindle actually worked as a FLO. <br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-40221828423173301972014-06-22T01:15:18.187-07:002014-06-22T01:15:18.187-07:00A survey of motivations for detectorists' choi...A survey of motivations for detectorists' choice of site?<br /><br />Ummm, finds rate, surely?<br /><br />Is there another?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
