Hey guys, calm down, take a chill pill - season of goodwill and all that!
I'm trying to tease out EXACTLY where the areas of difference are and where, if any, the common ground is. Sure it's hard for us to understand the collection of trinkets for their own sake and gee whiz value but this attitude is encouraged by the likes of Baldric and Top Ten Treasure TV programmes or whatever it was called, apparently fully endorsed by the BM no less. Like it or not it is legal, probably impossible to make illegal, so we have to work with that.
What is the answer to the MD's question about the removal of unstratified objects from the ploughsoil?
What is a reasonable and practical level of accuracy to ask them to record their finds? Should it be the same for all classes of object?
How can we agree a reporting procedure and what really are the objections to the existing ones?
Mince pie anyone?
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
