I would make the point that how much I charge is a private matter and is not open to scrutiny. I have only worked for any public body twice for one I got UKP100 for three days work and the other I am still bound by the secrecy agreement 6 years later.
For my day to day work is for other organisations and market forces prevail simple as that. I make far less in fact than people think.
I am far from convinced the artefact collection is anything more than one of many weapons in my armory of techniques to use and that there is actually a skill shortage so I have to resort to using volunteers. In particular I think rarely will the collect of said artefacts will make the difference in determining what the importance of site actually is.
I would note that I have been trained in both the theory and practice of the use of said devices which is not to say I still retain that skill.
