then education not an outright ban is the answer.
stop threatening people and make them more willing to show and share their finds.
I have been shown some amazing finds found by local farmhands recently all found without detectors.
I am currently trying to photograph them and document where and when they were found.
This includes a lot of stone tools but also has metal objects in the collections.
The Antiquarians robbed so much more. Even in the Atkinson Silbury dig the report by Whittle states again and again, "these finds have since been lost"
If I find anything with a MD I will attempt to report it but knowing the local way the local FLO works I doubt anything but a major Gold find would be of interest.
