Extremely disappointing and frustrating – an opportunity lost to promote archaeology above material gain. The producers should be thoroughly ashamed.
The importance of archaeologists being involved in carefully removing finds cannot be stressed too much – great damage can be done by the inexperienced person in their haste to remove finds. What a tragedy too that after such a valiant effort the Crosby Garret helmet went to a private buyer. Let us hope that the battle is not lost just yet and it will find it’s way to a museum, as did The Ribchester Helmet.

I agree with everything you say – I switched half way through and went and watered my chilli plants instead, as I was so frustrated by the whole thing – a seemingly pointless exercise in advocating metal-detectoring as a means to riches. Bah!
