I was argu-er... debating with some British bloke, about metal detecting.. He called detectorists grave robbers, and tomb raiders. I pointed out the benefits of relic hunting, to which he blamed Catholicism for destroying history. (how did we get to religion??)
Anyways, he went on to say how relic hunters would gladly destroy fields for some precious relic, to which I replied "So you'd rather let the farm fields destroy history? Tractor plows and chemical sprays and soil will render many artifacts unidentifiable in the coming years. Is that what you want?" He gave up. Frankly I'm glad he did. It was getting boring.
Only qualified archaeologists and historians are allowed allowed to rob graves and tombs. Didn't you know that?
