Er, isn't this a bit of a sweeping statement? So why don't I give up now, become a merchant banker and fanny about in my spare time with a metal detector and some mates... throw out artefacts that don't interest me (oh what's that, a piece of flint, nah... oh some iron-working slag, nah... ooooh shiney metal, oooh!), not record to any acceptable standards, fail to produce a report... and in so doing destroy another bit of 'finite and non-renewable resource'? Hmmm. I would hope that my experience, qualifications and professional ethic might count for something?
