They use the unemployed free of charge to most of the donkey work , so who's skimming who ? In the name of archeology they get voluntary help by those who gagging to get on a dig ... all no cost labour. And vullshit prices to find mostly zip the Detecting Hobby gives up their time free or charge to the farmer they make the Archological system look weak , because,we contribute more than any Acheolog8st dig has in 40 years . You nothing but robbing piss takers in the worst way ... your attitude alone will show you that people will no longer contribute to your knowledge of our history by not declaring ,because not only do you take the piss financially the museum system takes too long to sort out finds lost missing finds upto 7 years gone by items sold to museums without the finderz or landowners being told . The list is huge under staffed n over paid .... your great finds would not be so great but for detectorists unearthing them your contribution is minimal compared to ours the real treasures of the world Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03728841370618845985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-46101698826582585782021-06-16T02:02:16.219-07:002021-06-16T02:02:16.219-07:00Until PAS acknowledged that recording finds at suc...Until PAS acknowledged that recording finds at such events was "problematic" and stopped attending, there were occasions when a PAS table was next to a dealer's table. I wonder which table was more embarrassed?<br /><br />Not that that embarrassing juxtaposition doesn't persist away from rallies - PAS pleads for finds to be brought to them after the rally while the Treasure Hunting mags each have more than a dozen adverts offering to buy stuff.Brian Mattickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207831120680627468noreply@blogger.com
