| description |
This outline article presents and critiques legislation as it affects the metal detecting hobby and the
archaeological profession. It considers some of the ways in which metal detectorists themselves have caused
controversy but also positive news in relation to archaeological heritage in Finland. A selection of examples
of collaboration based on the authors own experiences is presented, also the impact of metal detecting on
material culture and archaeological research. The continuing object-oriented focus of both metal detectorists
and the media is identified. New collection and engagement strategies could enhance archaeological research,
while engaging this particular section of the wider public. |
