For the avoidance of doubt:

I saw Kevmar's survey on UKDN. ''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least you know who owns it...........:-)

Anyway, so you think artefacts are better off left in situ
to decay and disappear into the elements then Nigel?
That's the most selfish attitude Iv'e seen for a while.
Why should this be so?
How long do you think (with modern day chemicals,not only
applied to land via farming,but through acid rain etc)
these finite objects will physically survive?
you know full well the damage 'our',yes 'our 'anchiant stones etc are
hammered by this.
Better out the ground,recorded,conserved,and rescued for everyone,
that's my opinion.
Re my survey again,
if you and Paul did see it,
you know full well how many objects would have interested
PAS,FLO's or any Museum,
None wasn't it?
Plenty of ring pulls,and buttons (pauls favorites)
nothing to get exited about,
very much a typical detecting session.
Regards,
Kevmar.
