Recently troll asked about IFA standards on detecting on the IFA section of the forum.... So heres a concept to throw to the wind...
There are enough detectorists here and some (hint hint!) with some instructional experieince... -
Would it not be a great concept to aid Curators, Archaeolgists etc... to know just what to expect, ask for, require....
If The deetcting community (who after all have the greatest knowledge in this field) could create / advise etc the creation of such a Guide that lokos at Types of Machines... Methods, Dos - Don'ts, instructions etc... this would fill a real knowledge gap. Would be tempting to ask Gary if he could consider creating an instructional video as well... (for a small fee of course :face-huh
which could accompany the documetn.
Talking of which... Instructional videos about several aspects of Arcaheology work.... How to use a dumpy, how to use a Barrow or pickaxe, How to ...etc...
hmmmmmmm What do Curators (and others of course) think? And What do detectorists think... it's kind of like a Guide without being one that is created by people who don't know one end of a Minelab from a Fryingpan...
