The said archaeologist was brought in by the FLO/PAS.
The said metal detectorist excepts archaeologist on site... because of recommendation by the FLO?
PAS/FLO should compensate Archaeologist... not detectorist.
The field walker, detectorist, Joe public is being responsible.
When a detectorist finds something of value he then stops digging etc. (save items etc)
Archaeologists come in and excavate/record the site... detectorist/field walker etc gain reward of items found.
This is part of the Treasure system.
This is part of your profession and the "rough part about it.
And if the crunch comes to the crunch I think this is what gets up the archaeologists nose more than anything.
The field walker, detectorist, Joe public gets rewarded... you don't... hence a lot of the divide between diciplines.
