Re: This is very bad news for PAS!

In this day and age with good quality digital photography I do not see why treasure items cannot be held by the finder, until it is decided if it is indeed treasure, or if a Museum would like to acquire the item, then hand it over.

Re: This is very bad news for PAS!
