Awesome history. After watching the video, I kind of laughed at the 4:14 mark. I know not all archaeologists dislike us metal detectorists but there are some who think we are stealing history and we should be banned from any digging at all. But to see an archaeologist use a metal detector seems a double edge sword. Then again maybe he is one who respects us detectorists as a hobby.
