| The People want to overthrow their oppressors |
Archaeological grip on the heritage is fortunately diminishing and they are clinging to power by their fingertips. Joe and Jill Public are pursuing their own heritage ambitions using their own means; and that often means using a metal detector. Their discoveries are simply amazing. Metal detecting, like relic collecting is wholesome, educational, and beneficial to the greater heritage good. Like it or not, some in our pastime don’t realise the struggle for metal detecting freedom has a serious political dimension. Our hobby has been so successful the British Government can’t afford to pay the LEGAL dues to finders under the laws of Treasure Trove; a situation the Comrades have jumped on to further their own stinking political ambitions to control populist heritage research and mug the populace of their property. Archaeology, especially here in the UK, has always attracted politicos of the extreme Left like flies to a turd [...] The real tragedy is that archaeology’s ordinary rank-and-file, the decent guys, can’t or won’t believe how they are being suckered in. [...] The truth always wins through in the end. It might take time and probably a few tears, but we’ll get there.
