Gosh, they talk of “treasure hunters striking lucky after years of searching the land”.....
Calling metal detectorists treasure hunters has long been absolutely verboten at the BM on the (detectorist pleasing) pretext that it's an insulting term. I guess someone at the BM Press hasn't read the hymn sheet. (Or maybe they have and think it's ridiculous?)
