Someone has commente...It's dependancy culture.<br /><br />Someone has commented - <br />"And the response from the "authorities" in these situations is abysmal...Should have had a 24hr Armed Guard if necessary."<br /><br />So because the authorities weren't there to guard it they couldn't think who else could do it.<br /><br />PAS should hang it's head for not having hammered home to these unthinking people the correct protocol for such situations long ago (the Heritage Journal did) - and now they've compounded the error by saying digging it out was the right thing to do. They've been paid millions, we've been paid nothing, what can you say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-76175863805332654652014-02-23T00:06:47.360-08:002014-02-23T00:06:47.360-08:00All wide-eyed and innocent about having to dig it ...All wide-eyed and innocent about having to dig it up in case the bad men got it aren't they? You can hire a security guard for 8 pounds an hour to sit by it all night or hire a generator and light up the area all night or sit in your car with the headlights on etc etc etc. Clowns. And for the BM to say they did the right thing! They deserve each other.<br /><br />Whatever happened to doing the right thing in this country? And not going the wrong thing and pretending it was the right thing?<br /><br />They really are pathetic - and then they're going to get oodles of reward, not reduced for bad practice, as PAS says it was Good Practice and the next person will act in exactly the same way.<br /><br />This is what comes of a quango's funding being dependant on sucking up to detectorists - the public being given a false account of what's right and historical knowledge being needlessly destroyed.
