Description: "This book charts the relationship between archaeologists and metal detector users over the past fifty odd years within an international context. It questions whether the great majority of metal detector users need be seen as a threat or, as some argue, enthusiastic members of the public with a valid and legitimate interest in our shared heritage, charting the expansion of metal detecting as a phenomenon and examining its role within traditional archaeology."--Back cover.
