common misconceptions that you believe metal detectorists have about archaeologists.
Based on some of the exchanges on the recent Time Team thread, the most common misconception (that most non-archaeologists, not just MDs have) is that all archaeology is funded by the tax-payer.

Hi Vader
Yeah I second that observation. It also seems that not only are all archaeologists (over)paid by public funds but every time a MD finds something we charge out to the site and start digging it up.
