How often to detectorists dig deep!

[BAJR Host]

On average, how often do you think a detectorist digs below the plough layer, or disturbed soil, into the unthinkable..?


Another day another WSI…

A very strange question,
firstly who are we asking?
secondly what relevance does a question (obviously a
loaded one) have,when only a guess can be posted?
and that will be biased depending on which side of the
''divide'' you happen to be on.

''below the plough layer, or disturbed soil,

Do you mean UNDISTURBED soil?
A better poll would be,
how often is the undisturbed soil,and archaeological layer
dragged up,into detector range,by agricultural machinery,
to that one,we can say ,very often.[?]

thanks.... I was just posting a question posed by another detectorist (I think)

the question I suppose looks at perception... quite intersting if not statistically useful..

:face-huh:

Interesting insofar as against a known background in which only 1800 detectorists out of 10,000 record their finds,
4 people think that 9900 of them never dig deep,
5 people think 9990 of them never do,
2 people think 9999 never do,
1 person thinks that only one of them does it, but only on average once every ten years,
and 1 person thinks none of them ever do or ever will.
