That was a good and honest post Steven.
For the record I personally haven't judged you as anti- detecting (I don't think so anyway).
With a project I was working on not so long ago the HER wasn't interested in the data we could provide. They couldn't process it with the resources they had.
I think with the amount of "spin" that's going around at the moment its very easy for people to classify you as "anti PAS" if you don't agree 100% with their scheme. Believe me I know and work to clarify the situation nearly every day on various projects.
A review of any department is a good thing if it can save public money and the scheme is held accountable for the way it uses its funds... but saying that doesn't make me anti-PAS or an irresponsible metal detectorist as some within its system try and make out.
