I promise to give my stuff back to the first ghost who asks.
 

I added this to the other post:

What people who write this forget is that our 'code of conduct' (not Law but best practice) states that you only dig in the plough soil & if you are starting to go deeper then you should call in the Archies. Therefore, every item I dig is totally out of context & has no Archeological value (in purest terms), although it does give a picture of the site. Now in the last 50 years chemicals have distroyed the roman coins & ploughs are constantly damaging the objects, so it should be farmers they are chasing. As we are saving the objects from further damage. Archaeological principals are about the preservation of the Archaeology & minimal destruction. The plough for hundreds of years have distroyed the archaeological layers & we are saving & protecting the in dangered items, so we are in line with their practices.
The issue they should focusing on:
1. farmers deep ploughing & chemicals
2. are those that do it on sites that are protected by Law
3. those that do not record their finds

One of the reasons we GPS everything is because in the future no-one can come to me & state this arguement. NO INFORMATION has been lost & HISTORY has been SAVED!

Yes, there is a reason why the phrase "possession is nine tenth's of the law" came to be. :laughing7:

Actually, the phrase is a derivative of an old Scottish expression "possession is eleven points in the law, and they say there are but twelve". The roots are said to be from a 1600s comedy.

FWIW,

I should have seen that coming
