Unbelievable.... :g44:

Hi Roman, totally disgusting... :g44: and very bad for the hobby as you say, you obviously know a little more than myself as I didn't even know it was brothers who were the victims?

A sign of the times I,m afraid. More arsholes per square mile in Britain than there has ever been.

Although it is very possible that the offenders were "hawkers", let's not assume that it is the case. The site is known for what it is, due to publicity given to such matters in the media. It could well just be a bunch of thieving morons who will target any place which is vulnerable, Pocklington being one such place. All we detectorists can do is to lend a hand, as far as practicable, to catch the offenders. Our honesty is NOT in question with those who matter, therefore it will only be bad for our great hobby IF the perpetrators do turn out to be involved in detecting, but even then, if they are hawkers the effect on the hobby will minimal. What is essential is that we are seen to be trying to rid our hobby of the wrong doers, and that we are willing to help bring the Pocklington criminals to justice. Just one thing though, DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK. :g44:

I thought that the farmers who were assaulted had caught the culprits detecting ?. This needs confirming so blame is not wrongly given to the detecting world. Every week farms get plundered for livestock and machinery . Poaching is also a big problem. With cars now available to most people ,remote areas are not that remote anymore. It really needs to be made clear if it were night hawkers or not so we can get a true perspective.

Hi AXEHEAD... Quoting from the second link about this story.

"sustained a serious head injury following the incident where he had challenged men that were on his land illegally using metal detectors."

So it seems almost certain they were using metal detectors... :g48:
