yep, a curate's egg of a hobby. Which is why our approach, saying up with the good and down with the bad is such a cat amongst the pidgeons one. The hobby as a whole wants, and the archaeological establishment has sleepwalked, into an easy position - evolution will make the whole egg good.

The archaeologist in your bad news story felt obliged to add the rider -

"Most metal detectors, especially those who are members of clubs, work with the permission of landowners and report their finds."

It's a complete and utter fiction, that all recording detectorists agree is nonsense. Why should an archaeologist be mouthing such tripe??
