Hi Hob,

For the avoidance of doubt:

I saw Kevmar's survey on UKDN. I get everywhere, me.

No, it seemed very well put together and very comprehensive, enumerating the numbers of various types of artefacts made by a large number of detectorists during a typical three hour session.

Yes, as everyone must now have realised, it suggests the HA Counter is set too low, hence its disappearance from there, its non-reappearance here and Kevmar's proprietorial attitude towards it.

Now here's a laugh: imagine a conservation group publicly cooking the books knowing full well that powerful contrary evidence existed and would be revealed at any moment! I think not.

Incidentally, deep in some den at this very moment I fancy I can hear the words "Hey, chaps, I have an idea. Why don't you make your own brand new survey and post up the results right here?!"

Wot larks!
