Just to let you see a glimpse of what detectorists are talking about.. just so you can see that these discussions are a bit behind what is actually going on
So you see... the thing that detectorists are discussing now is just how much info to record... who to give it to...
the record or not debate (to most detectorists) is old news..
They want to offer there services to development sites and work with archaeologists to help do topsoil scans... hey its gonna go in the back of a dumper truck in the end!
Another day another WSI?
Quote:quote:....Better still, I've written up all finds from a particular site of interest into a small booklet with each 'chapter' covering a particular field. Also included are my observations about pathways, roads, field names, field boundaries, soil types, non-metallic finds and topographical features as well as plots and photos of finds. In short, a hundred times more contextual information than would ever be given to the PAS.....
