Re: Tense Truce Between Detectorists and Archaeologist
I have over the years been involved with archaeologists with surveys of historic sites and never had a feeling they regarded me as inferior, in fact many appreciated my input. What seems to be overlooked is this article was written by a journalist who true to type has two main aims. 1- to see her name as a byline and 2- to create controversy. These are the stock in trade reasons behind many journalists thinking. The worst ever headline for a newspaper would be ' Massive Earthquake In Chile. Nobody Killed.'

Tom...Glad you have found your niche in life,,& which am sure your family are rightly proud of , My apologies if you think my post was aimed at you it is not..
I have every respect for you.. But! I don't believe anyone has the right to disturb the dead in the name of archaeology ..Not saying that you partake in this bizarre ocupation..More power to you in your efforts to bring the two sides together. I hope your efforts are rewarded.
MERRY XMAS..
