"Also I suspect the quote attributed to mr Kelly in the article about important finds only turning up in excavation was incorrect as anyone who reads the papers and looks at the news sees treasures of our national heritage from bronze age gold lunulae stolen from a safe to early christian books popping up in bogs with no archaeologists in view."

I cannot let this statement in its entirety go unchallenged, "early christian books popping up in bogs with no archaeologists in view." The people who uncovered this item were involved in turf cutting, a legitimate occupation. They acted in a timely and prudent manner to inform authorities and preserve the artifact. The state owe these people a great debt of gratitude. Get off your high horse Snowdaisy, before you fall off.
