UK Metal Detecting: "Howland's latest"

Men in aprons

Or reading John ("Ambassador of the Hobby") Howland's latest, a reader comments: 'Looks to me like a really desperate attempt to get a reaction, like my twelve-year old". Several thousand old men with the mentality of twelve-year olds, an inability to understand plain English and a metal detector, taking apart the archaeological record for fun and profit. That's about the measure of the problem facing the PAS.
