Even though a specific recent event may well have been the inspiration for this thread, its more wider general concept is of serious interest at to at least myself as a detectorist in light of CoPs and calls for increased responsibility, it is important for the hobby as a whole to look at ways of policing and dealing with miscreants.
Although it no doubt has proven to be an uncomfortable question to some given the higher moralistic attitudes that have in the past and indeed are currently aimed at the hobby, in light of the fact that the recent specific case is exemplary of some of the worst accusations thrown at the hobby, would it not be natural for us to look towards archaeology for an answer?
