“Detectival”: a new low.

Britain’s biggest metal detecting event will be in Cambridgeshire in September.

It will be held on 1000 acres and over 700 people have expressed an interest so far (and previously over 1,000 have attended).

Here’s what they are charging …

Looks like the takings will exceed £110,000 (and perhaps more than £160,00, plus rents for numerous trade stands).

For what benefit to heritage and science?
