Difference is that because I (and others) will be there (working with/for the PAS) to help record more and to be on hand to deal with any flint scatters, find spots etc ... then it is better than not being there.. To be there is to show that we are taking the 'issue' of Rallies seriously and not burying our heads and hoping that disagreeing will have any effect in the right here and now. I would rather that my presence allowed more to be recorded, that locational data was created and that professional archaeologists were working alongside detectorists, just as detectorists often work alongside archaeologists will be better than none at all.
Tis better to light a candle than to complain about the darkness. - I am under no rosy impression that every detectorist will be saintly⦠but if I can talk with people as equals, it will advance the understanding, rather than high handedly pronouncing on them. Open minds all round please.
Another day another WSI?
