Gary,
you say as a quote "Im (sic) an archaeologist and your (sic) detectorist attitude and what right have you to question our motives". who made this quote? certainly not I. My contribution towards a greater understanding between archaeologists and detectorists has been done in the field between detectorists and archaeologists, this has never included making pejorative comments on archaeological websites accusing archaeologists of professional negligence. Btw, I'm an ex-professional field archaeologist, in my free time I now operate in that grey area termed amateur archaeology.
If you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow, you need buttermilk and cheese and an equilateral chainsaw. Half Man Half Biscuit
