Not so much a problem of "finding funding" perhaps (after all, 4 years of PAS = only one Silbury tunnel!) more of justifying funding. £40 per find - some of them grotty old buckles - is a lot to justify to the taxpayer. If they happen to use my tax for PAS then I'm not sure I think database pictures of a small pile of grotty buckles is what I wanted them to use it for. A bigger pile, maybe.

On that basis I think a "bigger PAS" is definitely not on the cards. More finds and a consequent lower unit cost per find is the only likely ambition. That or no PAS.
