500 quid a year is offset by finding just thirty objects worth 16 quid each. Perhaps farmers can charge more and the keen tekkies can still afford it.

I think that farmer is particularly well-informed. An average of 30 artefacts worth £16 each adds up to a figure very close to the £500 he is charging. Bearing in mind the detectorist can get his money back by selling the objects on Ebay he is still able to enjoy his detecting for free.
In fact, he is also getting the chance of half a jackpot, amounting perhaps to millions, for free, which is a better deal than the National Lottery, so if he complains about being charged £500 he's not only not an amateur archaeologist but also a bit of a crook.
No need to discuss. It's a fact. ;)
