I recently learned there is a British show called <i>The Detectorists</i> but I have not seen it.<br /><br />There was a comical story in <i>The Sun</i> today. Neal Baker reports on 54 replica aureii unearthed by a pair of metal detectorists in a field in Suffolk England.<br /><br />https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5456947/detectorists-bbc-treasure-hunters-roman-gold-suffolk/<br /><br />Apparently these were props used for the BBC series. "In a scene that featured in the first episode of the last series, the replica coins were shown being buried in a clay Roman pot and then brought to the surface by a tractor ploughing a field 2,000 years later."Ed Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348737439160159891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279887958085077691.post-86765085429329367112018-01-12T10:55:04.951-08:002018-01-12T10:55:04.951-08:00Hi Peter:

Note the bit: 'we want to shame the buyers, we want to [...] make that even more underground and then find out who's doing it, and bring them to justice'. Do you see any 'shame' among US collectors involved in the open purchase of items potentially supplied by 'criminal rings', whoever is behind them? I don't, " he scribbles. <br /><br />The point he wilfully misses is that you, unlike him, enjoy a reputation, and a good one, in that you are internationally renowned along with the likes of Wayne G Sayles. It's unfortunate that I have to give this ignoramus the oxygen of publicity that he so desperately seeks. <br /><br />I only wish, brown trout would rise to fly as quickly as the 'Warsaw Warbler' rises to a well-presented bait.John Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752752229384757087noreply@blogger.com
