Head over parapet....been busy here and there!
There are many detectorists who would give their time & labour for free to help suprising that some of you may find it!
The potential to both educate members of the MD community and engender better relationships is immense and IMHO be taken at every opportunity.
We (detectorists) know that we have a disproportionate amount of "wassit worf & where can I flog it" types in the hobby....they generally don`t last long.
The criminal types are a harder problem to deal with.... legislation/licencing/banning the hobby etc won`t work......criminals don`t abide by rules by default.
As far as the OP goes it is reasonably likely that Mr B will take a few numbers, adjust to suit his crusade, and then use it as a stick to beat somebody with!
