    Been pondering significance of metal-detected finds given some commentary today. Worth remembering what a major contribution they now make..

        @caitlinrgreen paradox as any excavation is in turn destruction. Yet without detectors many of these finds would remain uncovered.

        @caitlinrgreen majority of clubs out there are well run and ethical in their find reporting. As usual it's a minority that can cause havoc.

        @caitlinrgreen it's completely intriguing how such a vast quantity of coins came to be buried and never re visited by those who buried them.

        @HawkeJon Well indeed. But happens everywhere+across all periods---hundreds of thousands of Islamic dirhams buried in Viking-age N Europe!
