And thats where you and other f'ing detectorists are welcome .. just as you made me and f'ing archaeologists welcome.
We don't debate that much as we should here I suppose, people are worried about saying the wrong thing...
Honest debate is what we (as BAJRites) should be proud of.
and can I say it is refreshing (and then you find that it is typical) to come across people like Steve, and Pete and Gary and Mark and Jerry and Gordon and scores of others.
As we all know - the basic aim is the same... it is the method of delivery... All of us have something to offer..
I am looking forward to a paper by a friend at Archeology SCotland - who will be looking (I hope) at Commercial involvement in Community - I also want to look at Charity Units and involvement (steady Uo1) - are we (as archaeologists) in danger of telling the local (who we see as the client) how to look at their own heritage? and thus undermining our support?
Hmmm? Just allowing YAC clubber to wash pottery or having a day where people can look at grumpy field archs behind a fence... is not community involvement.
Anyway I digress!
