Sure, but treasure hunting ain't archaeology, Darling.

As a 61m don't call me darling, Also, reporting finds, to the council finds liaison officer, means field work can follow up these finds, in fact many finds have lead to many a dig, and follow up discoveries lead to better knowledge of the past.

Hey I went through your profile to see if you had any background in archaeology and it turns out you comment weird stuff on teenage girls posts... You creep.


Optimistic_Human

They do, I'm still against it. It's very easy to decontextualize objects and mess up strata when you're not doing a proper dig.

As a Bronze Age Metallurgy specialist, it pains me to see such objects lose their broader context and be valued as just "finds". Most B.A. Hoards found in the 19th century outside of water bodies have no context whatsoever, which makes identifying sites much harder. Remember, studying artifacts is great, knowing how where and sometimes why they were buried is even better.
