Its all very well stating we must police the hobby ourselves. But you have to be very careful legally that detectorists who reports another is not just being malicious for want of a word. The hobby is full of odd people yes me as well lol.

The legal implications of naming people incorrectly would be a mine field. Just by leaving your car beside the road doesnt mean your night/day hawking unless a photo is taken of the person in the act on a schedule site.

During these coming winter nights for example I am ploughed under with work, the only time I might get out to detect is when its dark after 7.00pm, doesnt mean I'm night hawking or anyone else because they or me will have permission.

Licensing detectorists is ok, but that is not going to stop ilegal activity.

I've been on organised rallies all over this country and even though the boundaries are usually well marked out you always see detectorists on the other side.

Its a problem thats not going away, and while forums keep displaying their finds openly more and more people want to pick up detectors and find so called treasure.
