The National Museum Wales is engaged in the '
Saving Treasures; Telling Stories' project, with help given from the Heritage Lottery Fund to ensure that Welsh museums can buy treasure found in their areas and prevent them otherwise going on the open market (Gemma Ryall, '
Metal detecting helps increase treasure finds in Wales', BBC News 30 April 2017) Of course if Treasure hunters were not emptying archaeological sites and assemblages of any metal item they can, then the public would not be forced to buy back their own heritage from them.
