The fact that he still had to pay ?250 says he was guilty of thieving with a detector. His detector was confiscated so that will add to the bill alongside the fine. E-Bay is another issue altogether and to be honest I would prefer any find sold on E-Bay would be accompanied by a certificate showing that it at least was recorded by PAS. There is no room in this world for thieves no matter what discipline they might come from, I'm sure you'll all agree.
Sadly-mr metal detector in Leicester appealed against his sentence and walked away.......does`nt send out the sort of message required really does it? He just ended up with a fine. Oh well-he`ll pay that off after one night out with his detector and no doubt nice mr E-Bay will sell his stolen goods as usual..........
Evil to him who thinks evil.
