On the one hand- yes, give the issue its own space.On the other, no-this is an archaeological website.Any new visitor to the site could become confused and believe that metal detecting is an integral component of professional archaeology.At the moment, there is still too much politics and not enough movement towards an agreed set of standards and-the IFA seem to have not taken up the chalice and involved themselves in such discussions either.Tiz good to see the issue here but...not sure if it warrents it`s own box until a clear ceasefire is seen to be in place
