RIP the Political Career of Nadine #DynamiteDorries.
The Culture Secretary whose first act on the job was to collude with Teesside mayor Ben Houchen's destruction of the #DormanLongTower and issue a misleading statement about Historic England's role.

All that's wrong with Heritage and Archaeology in universities when you read this

[David Petts @DavidPetts1]

Due to @durham_uni aggressive attitude to staff engaged in the @ucu Marking and Assessment Boycott I have just had to email @pintofscience explaining that as I'm only getting 50% of my salary I am not in a position to take part in their wonderful outreach programme 1/3

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

@DavidPetts1 @durham_uni @ucu @pintofscience It's very sad your wonderful work is not valued by the University but unfortunately it's the state of Archaeology and Heritage in the UK @pipelinenews @R1100GSBlueNose @EthosHeritage

@antmcguire @fesshole And full of dangers chemicals

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

We have seen a document that states that a large amount of archaeological artifacts submitted to the PAS in Cumbria and Lancaster cannot be accounted for.

After an internal investigation the police have now been notified and a criminal investigation is underway

Metal Detecting is Treasure Hunting Hobby Says Criminal

A Rogue metal detectorist jailed for failing to declare £5m Anglo-Saxon hoard said that a proceeds of crime hearing that Metal Detecting is a Treasure Hunting Hobby. Is this where MD is going in the eyes of the public

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

Four individuals were caught red handed engaging in illegal detecting on a scheduled monument. Great work from Suffolk Constabulary in their continued efforts in tackling the growing problem of #HeritageCrime especially Illicit metal detecting.

@dread_jimi @PeterReavill @pipelinenews @DEJPett @PortantIssues @MuddyLass @preshitorian @R1100GSBlueNose @Tostig1066 Or the other interpretation is that you are not very good at satire......

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

Some interesting and illegal advice to it's members from a commercial Metal Detecting Rally Company on what you should do if you find a hoard.

In addition 5 UK police forces issued press releases saying the same thing last year.

@dread_jimi @PeterReavill @pipelinenews @DEJPett @PortantIssues @MuddyLass @preshitorian @R1100GSBlueNose @Tostig1066 @MattockInHand We printed exactly what was said, where it was said. A statement of fact. If you were foolish enough to make fun of a serious issue which some people as per the tread believed and took seriously, that's your issue. Take responsibility for your actions, rather than blame others

@paulstevens1959 @mutteringmadam @pipelinenews @PeterReavill @DEJPett @PortantIssues @MuddyLass @preshitorian @R1100GSBlueNose @Tostig1066 @MattockInHand The comments on the FB thread demonstrate that most took it seriously. With the rise in illegal detecting was it an appropriate post for a Commercial Metal Rally business to make after the issues with Dig For Treasure and the Lancaster

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

When we raise this question with the program this week they refused to respond

[@andybrockman.bsky.social 🦋 @pipelinenews]

If it transpires the recovery of artefacts from the Lancaster took place without an MoD licence, as well as being acutely embarrassing given the programme has emphasised "responsible metal detecting, it will be asked if due diligence was undertaken by Daisybeck Studios & Ch5.

[We Dig Heritage @WDHUK1]

Investigation by this organization and The Pipeline has established that there no licenses were issued by the MOD to metal detect the Lancaster Bomber on the first episode of C5 Digging For Treasure. Questions to be answered? @PortantIssues @R1100GSBlueNose @Tostig1066 @
