Der Artikel hier erklärt, weshalb kein Archäologe auf dem europäischen Festland die dortige Detektorpraxis befürwortet oder gar bereit ist, sie hier einzuführenA recent rally adjacent to an Oxfordshire hill fort attended by 2,000 detectorists. Most British detectorists have never reported any of their finds to the Portable Antiquities Scheme yet American collectors claim that purchasing British finds is fine because we have" the most enlightened antiquities laws in the world" On the contrary, the above mass erosion event could take place in no other country. Britain is the Wild West of conservation and American collectors fuel a significant proportion of the process. It should be stressed that mass erosion is not restricted to the sites of rallies. Ebay is replete with artefacts from all parts of the country offered by individual detectorists (two recently featured on television having removed 7,000 artefacts from a single site) and there are even American and British firms offering all-inclusive "detecting holidays in Britain" catering solely for North American detectorists.
