They only record a proportion these days but I don't think that policy applied 5 years ago so it might be worth asking them what happened. Naughty not to keep finders in the loop, discourages further reporting.


Ok, didn't realise that.
Yes, might chase it up.

The last time I took something to them it was photographed and recorded in front of me, but it still hasn't turned up on the site.

Well it's supposed to be compulsory in Scotland, which has to make sense, although the stats imply not all gets reported.

A bloke recently started a club in the Western Isles but was having difficulty attracting members as so far there had been zero finds!

"No bottle tops and coke cans in the Isles " Mind you the signs were metal , made from recycled bottles tops etc, it's a wonder they haven't found them .

Maybe that's because of "NLBHYB "
