Well I am very disappointed in your response. You ask 'what is acceptable', I say so, and then you say 'actually we can't be bothered'. No wonder you are widely regarded as a bunch of vandals.
If you are not prepared to record accurately than you are not serious about your committment to history. Don't bleat about not being able to do it - if you are serious about wanting to do more than pick artefacts out of the ground then put your money where your mouth is.
Or join a local archaeological society.
I find you post quite insulting.
John was giving you an honest opinion on the truths of what is and seems to be stumbling blocks between the two different communities and is trying to put forward a view that would hopefully allow debate.
What makes you think you have the "Say So" and that "your view" is the only way?
I tell you what... you pay for all the Md's who cant afford to have a GPS system if you are so concerned and want them to record history accurately. Don't bleat about not being able to do it - if you are serious about wanting to do more than preach about accurate recording then put your money where your mouth is.
Or join a local detecting club.
Please remember this is hobby... not a profession.
If some detectorists wanted to be archaeologists they would have studied the profession. "My way or not at all" mentality will always leave more division. We are trying to educate detectorists not bully them into submission.
