Must admit I was sorry to hear on the news this week of scavengers plundering the ship wreck off Devon. As a Treasure Hunter myself I would never dream of taking items from ships cargo, when you actually know who it belongs too. There is a vast difference between walking along the shoreline picking up coins etc and treasures washed ashore during storms. However to actually empty cargo containers when you know who they actually belong to is going too far, in my opinion.
A number of these people also left endless amounts of rubbish on the beach which will take months to clear up. I felt ashamed looking at the way these lovely beaches, of which I have spent many a year holidaying, were left looking untidy, dirty and neglected. I hope the beaches are cleaned up soon, and they get back to the way they were.
Genuine Treasure Hunters spend hours trying to find rings that people have lost, with little or no reward. They also document their finds. Please don't get us confused with these scavengers!!!
