Re: Angry farmer

You cannot tell Dave, it is just one of those horrible things in life, where nobody appears to really know what to do, everybody has an opinion, and, while all of that goes on, the grip of the criminals hand closes tighter.

Re: Angry farmer

Perhaps, when we approach a farmer for permission, we should advise him/her to ask for proof of membership to either one of them, NCMD/FID, and recommend that they refuse anyone who cannot supply such proof.

Re: Hoard valued at £3.285 million

Terry's detecting was the gentle exercise as prescribed by his Doctor for his heart and angina. He only ever does one or two hours at a time. So comments about his past legitimate benefit claims are un-called for thank you. Very well said. Terry, whom I do not know, deserves his reward, as well as ...

Re: Angry farmer

Once a nighthawker kicked out of any club, or the likes of FID/NCMD, a nighthawker who will have no cover when they get caught. I say "they", because we cannot assume that the crime is only in the realms of a single gender.

Re: Angry farmer

Well whatever happens has got to be better than what we have now. Like I said it would be good to see someone go to jail, that would be a deterant to some, but not all of course, so they can take their chances. :g50: What is needed are some high profile cases that get the book thrown at them, as fa...

Re: Angry farmer

Ferret mentioned the Farmwatch group, which is something I have said for a long time, we detectorists need to get involved with.

Clearly, it is now even more vital that we do so, if only to show how commited we are.

Re: Angry farmer

Good for him. It is high time that we really got to grips with this prpblem, before it gets completely out of hand, and people like that farmer ban detecting altogether.

It can only snowball, if left unchecked.

Re: First find a hoard...........

One would imagine that the thoughts of the landowner should come into this, after all we'd all be upset if someone came onto our land and then found something that may have to be shared? It's theft if you don't have permission, and leaves a very big question in its wake! I agree he did the right th...
