Texas Does it Better

.
In Britain a Finds Identification Day means just that whereas in Texas it seems it is treated as an opportunity to outreach to the public with the specific aim of explaining the harm caused by the idea of financial gain through inappropriate excavation and sale of artifacts.  Can anyone imagine one of the FLOs working for Britain's Portable Antiquities Scheme saying anything like that? Or it being said on the PAS website?
