"Which might suggest by omission that all the correct procedures were not adhered to in that it was snatched excitedly out of the ground the minute the finder saw the glint of gold, whereupon they danced and sang a little tune, and totally forgot to call an archaeologist to carefully examine the context of its long-time home .

However, as an aside, The One Show are a bunch of knobs. In 2007 they excitedly aired a massive detecting rally at Durobrivae/Water Newton live over two nights without explaining the downside and now they've featured treasure hunting over 2 nights with the same omission. The consequent damage they've done must be massive.
As for using their glasses, it is thought that children were used for fine gold work.
