:face-angel: Of course I'm always perfect and never take anything anyone says out of context.... where's that stirring smiley when I need it.....
(here you are... :face-stir: edit... BAJR Host)
I've said on the old forum (as Oldgirl) that I'm still to be convinced about the positive and negative aspects (note - I didn't say rights and wrongs) of this specific method of retreiving information. Just as I am about a number of other survey techniques, both intrusive and non-intrusive. I have come across more instances where people using metal-detectors have not stopped at the topsoil than when they have, but I'll happily admit that I have not had any involvment with PAS and so my sample is biased and probably not statistically valid in size either.
However, to go back to the original point about the TV programme - I'm very glad to hear (above) that the people who use metal detectors responsibly are equally angry about the selfish and destructive acts of a few thieves. Has anything happened as a result of that?
