Well if it is deliberate concealment then they should get the full sentence of the law.
These people don't give a toss how something like this affects other detectorists, it's just another nail in the coffin for our hobby as i can see it.

Re: Discuss The Benefits Of Metal Detectorists

Re: Row over bones discovery
Problem is that we don't have the full facts about this report yet, I read elsewhere that it was cavers who were using metal detectors when they found human remains and informed the relevant authorities of the remains. If they are bona fide cavers the possibility could be they where doing a cave sur...

Re: A 700-YEAR-OLD English coin has been found
Certainly agree with you jimmy, the largest percentage of coinage found in Scotland is English.
I live in the North of the Highlands and the majority of hammereds I have found so far are English.

Re: A 700-YEAR-OLD English coin has been found
Bit of a tenuous link suggesting it may have been among the spoils of battle taken back to the abbey by the Bruce from the battlefield, from an area like an abbey I would expect a whole range of coins from different periods to turn up.

Re: Night hawkers strike Whitby abbey
I didn't say it was definately night hawkers, i just said probably, which was my opinion, it hasn't been proved either way if it was or wasn't nighthawkers. Very true weldbuzz, I wasn't getting at you personally it was the beeb and EH who have already condemned detectorists as the guilty parties, t...

Re: Night hawkers strike Whitby abbey
Sorry this does annoy me that it is being branded nighthawkers without any positive evidence or proof, I am not discounting it but all I have heard and seen so far doesn't pove it is nighthawkers. I wonder what the reaction from EH would be if someone from NCMD contacted them and asked if they could...

Re: Night hawkers strike Whitby abbey
Lump of iron found doesnt prove its nighthawkers, nighthawkers aint going to go round digging up iron, if they do either their detector is a maplins special or they are lousy at detecting, they won't want to waste time digging iron, only spot on signals also any nighthawker would know the area would...

Re: Hobbit treasure to be legal tender in NZ
The most expensive, made from 28 grams of pure gold, will set Tolkien enthusiasts back NZ$3695 ($A3020) but has a face value of just NZ$10

Why do they think next year is not looking good?
Hope they are not thinking the jet stream is going to be permanently stuck south of the UK.

Re: spanish galleon treasure stolen from museum
Robbing barstewards, should keelhaul them when they catch them.
Seems thieves are targeting the smaller local museums which have little security these days for easy pickings.
Shame on them as Mull museum is staffed by volunteers, entry is free and they depend entirely on donations.
