I think we're missing the point, which is that as an archaeologist working on organised archaeological investigations, you can't claim a reward. And this is probably the way to go- after all, who actually is the finder? do we want all research digs to be targetted on treasure like they were 100 years ago?
If you check your contract, it's proably covered. If you're self-employed,it should be in the terms of contract for the job. Which of course we all check religiously...
Just wondering how this affects detectorists, or at least those who profess to be doing serious archaeological research? A question based on genuine curiosity. WHo is an archaeologist? One for the IFA chartering fans to consider?
