First of all, we make a point of thanking Détection Passion which makes us the honor be devoted this page. The fact deserves to be underlined! Our association was born in 1996, involving in its wake a hundred people sharing same passion and same waitings. We decided to create this association mainly for three reasons: 1 / To create relations with the representatives of archaeology in order to establish, in a real will of exchange, an honest collaboration, and especially, to facilitate the steps of declaration of sites, objects or discoveries. 2 / To show with the public authorities and the other administrations which we can effectively contribute very well to back up our inheritance using detectors, while respecting the rights of the owner of the ground, the environment and archaeology. 3 / To help the users of metal detectors in their proposer an assistance, whatever the problem encountered and as from the moment when they are in good faith. When we say to help, it is really to help! We want, and we will be able, with the proviso of being numerous, of revalorizing the public image of detection. Indeed, if these last years were profitable for the salesmen of metal detectors, they were not very good for us others, prospectors. That is mainly due to the emissions of television which do not show alas, that the lucrative or ludic aspect of detection, blowing step a word on the prospectors wishing to take part in a better knowledge of our inheritance. It is enough to a little common sense to make evolve/move detection: it can bring much, so much the advantages and the possibilities of the detectors multiple and are varied. It is easy with the experiment which we have, to think of " an other " detection for France. For example, if we do not take guard to count the places and what find there we, all this " work " will be lost at the time of
the " suspension D ' activity " of the prospector. It falls under the direction that a responsible archaeologist to draw up the
inventory of the sites, would like to know these places. With our apparatuses, we can become invaluable auxiliaries for
archaeology and it is quite obvious that if we adopted all the English method, the administrative archaeological ones would
profit from a source of information different, free and new. In France, the reasons not to cross, not to meet and thus to be unaware of themselves, are numerous: For the archaeologist, the irritation has two principal origins: strict plundering of the archeological sites known, or in the course of excavations, which upsets and occults stratigraphy and deprives it of the study of these objects. In the second place, the archaeologist, just like the numismatist, measure the scientific damage of the not-declaration of discovered objects or currencies carried out fortuitously. The first case relates to only one negligible number prospectors, " the irreducible ones " who seem " irremediable ", in spite of the teaching efforts, and which discredit the whole of the prospectors. For the second, an intelligent collaboration must installation. Indeed, if the lawful aspects are respected, one can reasonably think that the discovery of new sites, and sometimes a better knowledge of those already identified, could satisfy the archaeologists like the prospectors. For the prospector, it must (as well as an archaeologist) take administrative steps, which, of course, are not really compatible with the character ludic and distracting that the users seek in this practice. Better before posing its detector some share is worth to get information! It is also necessary to compose with the constraints related to our passion (bad weather, mineralized ground, detectors well less powerful than in publicity, etc.) Far from us the idea to want to give " lessons " to the archaeologists who have competence and the knowledge necessary to this immense field that constitutes our past. We want simply to make become aware with our " detractors " that detection should not make indignant the prospector (if not they give reason to irreducible named higher), but must be regarded as a valid and additional addition so that one knows already. All this can function only subject to bilaterally held guarantees. Thus we will make our contribution to a better knowledge of our common inheritance, and with good to think of it, there are always solutions with the problems. **time-out** it be for all these reason and for good of other still, that we ask with all the Association of Prospector, with that which make part of no association, and with all that which, of close where by far, be interest by our inheritance and of which the idea be close of ours, to take contact with we. Then we will say, following the example the EC what say the English detectorists: ", we dreamed We did it ". To become member: the contribution is 360 per annum F. What accounts for 30 F per month. (with prorata temporis of your inscription). This price can appear high, but it includes a legal assistance and well of other services still. You will receive the associative bulletin, of new information, quantities of tricks = and essential easy ways, of the tests of apparatuses produced by a committee of users on various types of grounds. And especially of the outputs, " initiatory " for the beginners, " scientists " for most confirmed. |
