There are several ways to 'police' archaeology.
1) the Law (ie... has the person broken any law)
2) the IFA (if they are members of the IFA then they are able to take action)
3) the BAJR Hotline (a last resort, but does the job !)
however - the person you are alluding to is not an archaeologist sadly (or gladly) rather a works in a council museum.... now that comes under Heritage I grant you... but not archaeology...
I would suggest... and correct me if I am wrong... you have already done... but contact the council in question and voice your concerns.
Archaeology is policing its own... (well..... starting to... and with the odd prod from BAJR) I am glad to see that Detecting is contemplating doing the same, as this will remove the worry of 'archaeologists' trying to force their policing onto them. :face-huh:
Another day another WSI?
