I missed the start of ths programme, but:
a) the idea that the archaeologists avoided certain areas just because they were suggested by the detectorists is ridiculous.
b) this was an assessment.
c) I agree that a lot seems to have been left unspoken or the result of editing bias.
d) I agree that the longer-term TT programs are better; by orders of magnitude IMHO.
e) The detectorists claimed to be getting 1/8th of the money they'd have got if they'd sold the objects themselves. I was under the impression that people got market rate in these circumstances; is that naive of me?
