British metal detecting in a global context:

You have to laugh! Conflict Antiquities@conflictantiq has said:

“Some people in Jordan are so poor that they have looted their own community’s cultural property to support themselves and their families”

Whereas in Britain, many thousands of people go out legally every weekend and find stuff in their own community and the next one and at a rally a hundred miles down the road without reporting it and not one of them does it through poverty!

.

Is this hole in Jordan or Jordanthorpe?
