You say about the figures being shameful. I do not see archeologists all over the countryside recovering these so called artifacts. So what happens when the plough and the power harrow gets them. I think you counter should actually say 9,000,000+ artifacts recovered and saved from destruction.


As I said at http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=40918&message=512564 (ignored other than by an admittedly witty comment on the counter, which I hadn't even mentioned) that's why Heritage Action didn't originally call for a ban. And I've yet to hear why licencing would stop responsible detecting, even tho the question's been asked directly in that post & by others....

Nobody has ever said that no detectorists are responsible, just that the number who aren't justifies regulation.
