Thanks Vulpes, you hit the nail on the head. It is an example of a positive action working with people - I am of the mind that only by interacting with others does understanding come about. BAJR and anyone who joins me, will be working with the PAS, to help with the recording of finds/scatters etc.. to locate and identify, and to learn from detectorists.
The "you can't" attitude won't go anywhere.. - as they say... tis better to light a candle than to complain about the dark. I am now under any miscomprehension that 100% of detectorists present will become archaeologists, but then thats not the point... it is to begin a process of understanding both ways... I am happy to work with (for) the PAS - who are often accused of mot having enough people for the task.. well... here I am... and the organiser has welcomed my presense.. as well as agreeing to teach me how to use a detector properly... through knowledge comes understanding.
ommmmmmmmmmmmmm !:face-thinks:
Another day another WSI?
