<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 134177, member: 50"]I'm not sure I'd know too many relic hunters though I've met a few. As a general rule archaeologist aren't keen on metal detecting or relic hunting. They tend to dig holes tearing up the stratigraphy and carry off things that would help interpret the site. I do bump into history buffs though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember sitting around the lunch table with a bunch of archaeology folks and all the ex-military guys were discussing armory, guns, ships etc. I felt like I'd landed in an unknown universe.
