That is really really really ..... don't have the words!
You ain't wrong about the purple swollen nadgers.. but hey... we is man enough to take it.. and I do feel thats where we are both the same... and we are growing in numbers.. with the more.. <cough> extreme members (and I use that word carefully ) looking just that...> "extreme members" there are hundreds of detectorists if not thousands, that just want a fair treatment... not looked down on and lectured to.. and there are lots of archaeologists who just quietly get on.. but are actually worried about what the peers have to say... " Tut Tut... you can't be talking to those grubby oiks .."
Well... long live a bit of openess.. and you are right.. I have nothing to gain... which kind of makes it look suspicious to some.. or perhaps you got it in one... I only ever have the archaeology at heart like yourself.
ps... fancy telling us about the site you have been on..
you can put pics up here.. though its a bit of a pain!
I truely appreciate that Dean...
by the way.. in answer to this question I set...
the answer was yes... I was found guilty.. though nobody was quite sure what of..
:face-huh: and I still think I am capable of holding a p#ssup in a brewery ... where others might not. One comment which made me chuckle was that I would not be able to cope with the ploughsoil in Cambs. given I was from Scotland.. (that possibly because the lands aroun' my bonny Hielan' Hame is aw' cover'd in peat.. and the shock of seeing a ploughed field would gie me a seizure.) :face-stir: yes I wish I was joking... I may just collate all the nonsense and publish it when I get back...
"I don't have an archaeological imagination.."
