Sorry if you got the wrong impression Gary. I'm not an archaeologist despite the name [:0]. All I was trying to point out was that anyone who is not a detectorist would probably not know to look at the UKDFD site if they had an interest in the finds on there whereas they probably would know about PAS.
I'm all for recording by everyone who makes a find whether archaeologist, detectorist, field walker or just a general member of the public. The more things on record the better the picture that we can see :face-approve:.
I just thought that giving your members the option to take things to PAS or a museum (just a mention that they exist maybe) would give greater scope for others to share the knowledge. Yes I know PAS aren't perfect but that's another story.
