What makes you think that? What makes you think you are entitled to come up to a complete stranger (you admitted you've never read this blog before), with such personal remarks(and do it anonymously too)? <br /><br />Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-14439445878663149892021-09-18T01:03:25.169-07:002021-09-18T01:03:25.169-07:00Paul Barford, this is the first time I've ever...Paul Barford, this is the first time I've ever read your "blog" and I have to admit it's got me wondering. Do you suffer with a mental illness, maybe PTSD or something, have you been diagnosed medically? <br /> You completely miss the point on so many things, and then ramble on in a most peculiar way. You seem to be completely absorbed in your own little world, like a toddler playing. <br /> Maybe some form of a mental examination would be a good idea whilst there's still a possible chance of regaining normality?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536976269981228703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-77895468646958592602021-02-27T08:05:37.101-08:002021-02-27T08:05:37.101-08:00...or what?

It's funny thi......or what? Is that a threat? <br /><br />It's funny this metal detecting innit? When there's a lockdown, it's an inalienable right to get out there "for mental health M8", you have to do it fer "exercise" or you'll all get pale skins, get fat and die. <br /><br />Now when it suits you it's nothing but hard work that you all do for the public good and to fill British museums.<br /><br />Please give the details of the Treasure items and other artefacts that you have donated and then we can see who has deposited more artefacts from fieldwork, you or the archaeologist? Do we count sherds, bones and iron slag etc. by the fragment or simply boxes? Or maybe truckload... <br /><br />Funnily enough all of the gold and silver items I have found on excavations is in museums, and the public has not had to pay a penny in Treasure ransom to me or the landowner, as archaeologists don't get them. As has the Roman coin hoard. <br /><br />Tell us about that Research please... <br /><br />and if I find something in the public domain that you have yourself put there that seems comment-worthy, I will probably comment on it. <br />That's life M8. Innit? <br /><br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-42011241731722226252021-02-26T09:43:37.304-08:002021-02-26T09:43:37.304-08:00Mr Barford,
Sean henri here...
I am just writing ...Mr Barford, <br />Sean henri here...<br />I am just writing to say, i stand by my comment that you labelled as greed.<br />I have worked so hard to find items that would have never seen the light of day if it wasnt for my extreme efforts, walking, digging and researching.. without us detectorist then what would the museums have to show? Not a great deal.<br />I have donated items of treasure to museums, more than once, can you say them same? <br />Crawl back under your rock please and stay there. <br />Mentioning my name on blogs etc, cheeky btard. Lucky u are in poland. <br /><br />Sean henri fergshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668560285687488557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-54836553864514300162020-12-02T05:02:34.397-08:002020-12-02T05:02:34.397-08:00Dick Stout, what the dickens is the matter with yo...Dick Stout, what the dickens is the matter with you, Grandpa? Have you gone completely senile? Both of you.<br /><br />Right, if you refer to the sidebar you will see some guidelines for comment posters here. I've allowed most of recent posts from 3 singularly unattractive detectorists because it suits me to allow you to show yourselves up in the eyes of the other readers of this blog (this blog is about metal detectorists, not for them). Nevertheless you have pretty consistently ignored the purpose of a section where guests can comment sensibly on the posts above.<br /><br />I'd draw attention to point 3 of the guidelines, but above all 10. Mr Mattick is a guest here, and I will not allow you to use my blog (all three of you have your own) to attack anyone. So, please stick to the guidelines. OK, alles klar? <br />Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-15410720151430906822020-12-02T04:13:09.378-08:002020-12-02T04:13:09.378-08:00So here have Brian and Paul talking to one another...So here have Brian and Paul talking to one another....hilarious.<br /><br /><br />https://detectingandcollecting.wordpress.com/2020/06/06/its-not-always-children-who-invent-imaginary-friends/#more-1759Dick Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650579869270308917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-40332524075659472202020-12-02T02:02:53.802-08:002020-12-02T02:02:53.802-08:00It's a fact, isn't it, that for every trea...It's a fact, isn't it, that for every treasure item a museum would like but can't afford there's a finder who won't give it to them for free.<br /><br />I believe those who DO give up their reward get a certificate from the Government saying so (as they're mostly simpletons) so I guess those who don't donate should be put on a public list pointing out what they (haven't) done.

Which is something we cannot say for the selfish metal detectorists taking part in the discussion above.
