I have been following Paul Barford’s blog for over a year and find it to be informative, knowledgeable and very very worrying in that he exposes the problems glossed over by those very people who should be shouting from the rooftops that metal detecting should be banned while there is still any archaeology left in the ground in England.
I am truly horrified about what has happened over the last few days and hope that the culprits can be found an punished and hope that Paul will be back soon shedding some light on these shady activities and keeping the pressure up on the PAS

Is there any consensus on how the law needs to be changed to stop mass detector plundering?

Yes, Lord Avebury, there is indeed a worldwide consensus that the way to prevent it is to make it a crime. Except in Britain where the official position is that most detecting is “responsible” so most detecting should be applauded. We believe it is high time parliamentarians took a close look at both parts of that claim as it seems very clear to us that the official statistics indicate most finds go unreported and are lost to science. (See our Erosion Counter)
On the other hand, whatever does or doesn’t get reported it is entirely unclear to us how the progressive removal of a fragile and finite resource for personal recreation or profit is ethical or in the national interest and how such a policy, so at odds with policy elsewhere, can be defended.

I need help. My aunt Winnie Matthews owned part of Pendeen carne – the quarry and top. I want to keep it protected. I found Carnyorth carne on your site and her carne is nearby. My family are thinking of giving it to the NT.
How can we protect it and keep it as it is ?

Susan, in the first instance I would suggest you contact the nice people at http://www.savepenwithmoors.com/ as they are local and aware of the current situation regarding plans for the moors. They should be able to advise you as how best to preserve the land for future generations to enjoy.
