Green Waste, The new danger to detecting in the UK We have put up with The Archy's slander, The dreaded countryside stewardship and of course the unpopular Treasure Act. But this GREEN WASTE is the biggest danger we will face.
I have some of my favourite fields dumped with green waste, and believe me when I tell you it destroys any chance of finding anything worth while, and it might just to a point that there is not much point in bothering to go to farm land, in the future.

Did you know that councils are paying farmers sums of money each year, to dump 'green' waste on their land?
Farmers in the belief that they are doing the right thing for the community, are being conned, and having their land contaminated with plastic, aluminium, glass and all kinds of other products, containing chemicals and substances, which not only destroys the appearance of the countryside, but also puts at risk the health of wildlife and humans.
Thousands of tonnes of this toxic rubbish, containing syringes, bottles, gloves, toys, glass - some of which will not decay for hundreds of years, to be tipped on the fields each year.
