"You start by having an amnesty on unreported finds. All finds must be reported and certified. All items offered up for amnesty get assessed for national heritage importance and reasonable compulsory purchases are made if necessary. After the amnesty dealine nothing can be sold without authenticity and certification. Very large fines (and prison sentences for repeat offenders) are put in place. All new finds must then be reported or they become unsaleable"

an amnesty for which law tho? There isnt one which says recording is mandatory and therein lies the whole problem. It would be impossible to police on the ground - and also online ventures such as E-bay?

The PAS system is a clear system and its very easy to use - but it doesnt mean that everyone uses it
