Could prob accept some pretty draconian small boat policies if there was a genuine safe route policy alongside it. So far we have no details at all.

As an aside the gold locket that they had to raise millions for, that could of gone to actual projects, If found in Finland the finder would have received aprox 42 thousand euros (current metal content price + 20%) and mainly been overjoyed at finding it.

One of the main defences of detecting I hear is that they discover things we wouldn't know about otherwise.
Stuff sitting on a shelf in somebody's house is lost to us. Stripping it of context strips or of meaning = It'd probably be better off left in the ground.

In 2023, 173 people in Surrey reported finds to the PAS, equal to 5.7% of the membership of this club + I'm sure there's plenty of other detectorists in Surrey, showing once again that despite claims to the contrary, only a tiny minority of detectorists report any finds to the PAS #ancientbluesky
An onslaught on heritage: "Surrey Metal Detecting Club… membership has rocketed… to more than 3,000 in 2025."
"We're not in it for the treasure, we're history finders" says a man who's "found thousands of coins" and has a shelf at home "where it's all Roman - coins, brooches and stuff like that."

The Irony of Hitler’s Junk
A slightly different take on the news that Hitler’s DNA reveals some genetic anomalies. The most interesting thing to me is that history has a profound capability for irony.

Describing a picture is not understanding a text.
