Gary, will you also report back here and let us know if detectorists are equally ignorant of the law or is it just archaeologists that you like to bash?
In all honesty I'm not bashing archaeologists at all.
The very first question on this thread was a valid one.
When some of the answers show that not many understood the TT act and thought archaeologists where exempt.
Whether detectorists are ignorant of the law shouldn't come into this.
Now there is a very big difference here.. and my point is this.
Professionals should know the law... there really is no excuse for it. Just because I bring it to your attention doesn't mean I'm bashing archaeologist.
Also you don't know me at all.. I am a metal detectorist and I do work hard to have the gospel of recording propagated and to have TT laws obeyed.
