Ooh... some of them are squealing right n...Hi WGS:<br /><br />Ooh... some of them are squealing right now! You and me are definitely off their Christmas card list - mainly because they were never Christians in the first place; being case-hardened, atheist commies. Facts 2, 3 & 4 have driven a stake through their hearts. They don't want Joe Public to know all about what they've been up to.<br /><br />Archaeology sounds impressive to the casual observer, but in reality it's based on BS; it's all 'guess-timation' - a science it's not - though it's fooled in the UK at least, the Council for British Archaeology in to supporting the so-called Artefact Erosion Counter, a propagandist nonsense dreamed up by an itinerant Warsaw cab driver who hates collectors, detectorists, and anyone else who's not a radical socialist. <br /><br />What a parlous state British archaeology and the CBA has become, unable to see the common sense wood for the socialist tress.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />John Howland<br />UK Collector & DetectoristJohn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752752229384757087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279887958085077691.post-90072215921178471992017-12-11T16:24:28.278-08:002017-12-11T16:24:28.278-08:00Fact #1: Ancient coins have been collected and tra...Fact #1: Ancient coins have been collected and traded from literally the beginning of their existence in the 7th century BC.<br /><br />Fact #2: No culture on earth ever considered, much less imposed, trade controls on ancient coins before the rise of archaeology as a "science" and the acceptance of these scientists as "experts".<br /><br />Fact #3: Many millions, if not billions, of ancient coins legally crossed national boundaries without controls of any kind as late as the early 20th century when archaeology (once a hobby itself) started to achieve some recognition as an academic subject of interest. There is literally no way to determine modern ownership of ancient coins based on point of origin.<br /> <br />Fact #4: Between 1970 and 2017 the archaeological community has aligned itself with a progressive socialist ideology that radically opposes private ownership.<br /><br />Fact #5: Radicals never let truth prevail and readily pervert truth for the "greater good".<br /><br />Is it any wonder we are where we are?Wayne G.

The street-corner rabble-rousers have been caught bang to rights with their fingers in the propaganda cookie jar. <br /><br />I'm sure many loud-mouthed propagandists know the game is up and will be running for cover to both protect their backsides and what’s left of their reputations. <br /><br />Happy days ahead perhaps.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />John Howland<br />UK Collector & DetectoristJohn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752752229384757087noreply@blogger.com
