Can I also ask what happens in Scotland? Perhaps the Scottish section of the IfA would care to comment. As there is a requirement to get PAS sanction (hmmmm let me think what PAS projects would these be) and certain groups in Scotland regularly work with detectorists... do they have to get permission from PAS? One also wonders why this change was required? Was it becoming a serious issue? I could think of other places to put time and effort... and this one is not really it. So what does it do? Does it ensure that no IfA member can record at a Rally? Would this new ammendment allow a member to be disciplined? Was the previous version not good enough to discipline those who would now be in breach? Now that we have Plough soil defined as archaeological context and the strong arguement for pre evaluation trenching investigation of this level... will we see a change in the methodology. Will Scotland be an exception? so many questions... any answers?:face-huh:
