sorry to be so thick, but why would you want to dig on a commercial site unless it is to get a foot in the door of commercial archaeology; the pressures of time, conditions and often, even, the remains are not conducive to a rewarding experience if your interest is in having a bit of a poke...
i write this as someone who got into professional archaeology through volunteering for DGLA and MoL, before starting work in a unit, so i am not against volunteering, but i don't see it today as the fun thing it was; but perhaps i am getting old and jaded
