      Currently looking at the finds from Sutton Hoo, and I’m surprised how much stuff survived the looting. Also glad the looters somehow missed getting into the centre of Mound 1.

      I wonder if we’ll find a burial that ends up overtaking Sutton Hoo. There are a lot of reasons it’s seen as exceptional, but I always think there is something else out there.

      Lol. My mom made me watch it and I struggled with enjoying it (because I did!) versus my hatred of people who use metal detectors without archaeological approval.

      I think the show did well in that they weren't rogue hunters but that economic and class circumstances had kept them from being able to be the archaeologists they wanted to be. I think they had respect for what they were doing. But maybe I'm too soft in my interpretation.

      I get that but metal detectorists destroy archaeological sites. It's why they are illegal in Ireland. So it's hard for me to square that with the fiction. And there are economic and class barriers to consider, definitely, but IRL there are a lot of community archaeology things

      I had thought in the show that they were involved with university archaeologists who would come in if they found something beyond toy cars and 5p in the till layer, but I could also be misremembering since it's been a while. My focus was monumental so I didn't do small finds.

      I don’t really recall since it has also been awhile. But IRL metal detectorists just dig stuff up and disturb sites anyway, so even if the fictional ones don’t it still sort of legitimizes it. I know people who use the show as justification.

      Well, that's terrible :( I worked in Crete too and there's terrible looting there of Cycladic burials.

      There's a whole group of metal detectorists who try to find ways to flout the law and it's very frustrating. I don't think anything has been looted that we know of, but even just finding a coin hoard is dangerous because often they get removed from in situ.

      so we can't even know the context of where the coins were buried, because nothing is properly recorded or marked.
