On February 17th, 2014, I represented the Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights at a meeting in Chicago, hosted by Minelab, and featuring Mr. Norman Palmer, one of the authors of the English “Portable Antiquities Scheme” (PAS) law. Invitees to this meeting included US metal detecting manufacturers, distributors, an archaeologist, and others interested in working together to promote a system similar to the PAS here in the United States.

Congratulations! Glad to hear this….. it’s a step in the right direction.
I agree with you whole heartedly!
Marvellous news! I wish that it progresses well, however, now that the blue touch-paper has be lit prepare for some caustic comments from eastern Europe!! You-know-who will be apoplectic at the prospect.
Best regards to all.

My new strategy is to completely ignore him. I don’t care what he thinks.
