Not a good story for our hobby Lee

Anyone who does not know the law should not be detecting - simples.

Agreed Pete, but these 2 guys travelling from Kent to Shropshire... I fear it's another case of knowing the treasure act laws but choosing not to abide by them! It's just my gut feeling as Kent isn't just around the corner from Shropshire now is it...

On another note you notice we are labelled 'Detectorists on a negative story... odd that!

It is a strange story. it's a bit of a trek so I wonder if they were tipped off about coins coming up? maybe they just got lucky
