The detectorists did give a fair and clear argument from their point of view. But clearly the archi's where not interested in the general areas as indicated by the detectorists, we do it our way thank you very much. The more I hear about the DCMS the more I don't like their unfair practise of favouring the museums budgets.

Then the detector chappie scanned the spoil to make a couple of nice find. I thought at the beginning that the program was really having a pop against detectors, but I reckon it balanced out well at the end. The big item in the detectorists favour was the superb details and records they had kept. Looked pretty good when balanced against the £70,000 dig.
