Re: Oi, PAS!
May 31, 2007, 20:50
D'you mean this -

"my message is for detectorists to record their finds with PAS etc. "

Bit tricky that "etc" isn't it?
People here, unfamiliar with detectorisms, might take that to mean you're a pukka advocate of responsible detecting. But they should know that all the main heritage and detecting bodies have jointly stated that "responsible" means REPORTING ALL FINDS TO PAS. Yet what do we find under Cymap on UKDFD (the place for those detectorists who don't feel able to record with PAS "for whatever reason") - you recording a prehistoric axe and the information - "Recorded elsewhere: No"

(And the same goes for Kevmar).
