Following our article yesterday, today comes further evidence that metal detecting is driven by self-interest, not the public interest.

At the same time, the National Council for Metal Detecting has sent “a letter of complaint” to the Government, asking for the same thing but adding the blatant confession that “The NCMD fully accepts that there are public health issues involved in any outdoor pursuit at this difficult time” – thereby further confirming the activity is driven by self-interest, not the public interest.

So detecting solely on private permissions isn’t allowed but we can go to the beach/public land (where permission has been granted) but other activities like golf, ruby and premier league is allowed.🤔 and they go on about people’s health and mental well-being 🤦♂️
