This seems like an excellent way for French detectorists to try and wind up the French authorities into doing something at an official, national level. I have to wonder though, why they don't simply set up a fdfd mirroring the ukdfd. Is there something subtle in the back-story that we don't know about? Or is there some advantage to an official system that a peer-run system cannot achieve? Or is this a cultural difference: that French detectorists see this as a civic matter, so it should be managed and financed by a central authority? Any insights Gary?
