I'm currently 'resting' between contracts and looking at other careers (that can guarantee more than 6 months work at a stretch and don't involve working 60 hour weeks outdoors in the snow sharing rooms with strangers).
As someone with 6 years professional digging experience and a lasting love of archaeology, the first thing I'll do if the lure of the trowel doesn't get me back in the spring is join and actively participate in any local societies.
I agree it is a bit much for full time professionals to spend weekends doing extra archaeology, though I do know people who do this, and take my hat off to them.
