      6/Thinking so little of your fellow citizens, as in the UK they're happy to help & contribute to the country, instead guidence would be good although you might be surprised how knowledgeable lots of people are .I hope you will think about this again please

      Metal detecting is illegal in Ireland. Considering that the person in question was more concerned about posting the find all over social media rather than bringing it to local archaeological authorities, they aren’t the wronged party here.

      Metal detecting can seriously wreck sites and Ireland has had a history of people looting sites for their own gain, in the last 200 years or so.

      Metal detectors havn't been around for 200 years & the looting of sites hasn't been limited to Ireland , professional looters are not interested in what is & what is not ,'legal'

      No it isn't limited to Ireland, but just because looters will do it regardless of the law, that doesn't mean that the law shouldn't exist.

      As I said, these exact same arguments were made in the UK some decades ago - the Archeological community decided to try doing things differently & from the success of it, they never looked back .It has been enormously successful, from the smallest to some of the more spectacula

      Damage is still done to sites in the UK from metal detecting. Yes, there have been big finds. But the problem remains that people with no training are disturbing and damaging sites and removing items that should be left in situ to study first.

      You are all very territorial 😁 & it's quite funny to see people using the same tired arguments that were used decades ago. I also said the vast majority of finds were small - not big hoards - it is frankly nonsensicle to treat a field that's been ploughed for a thousand years as
