On a metal detecting forum near you, one member has an interesting signature that speaks volume:
Gwawrer [...][Deus is a band of metal detector]
Its better out of the ground and in your hand for the history or monetary value rather than left in the ground to rot doing nothing for anyone.
Member of Cheshire Metal Detecting Society
In love with Mr Deus for ever.
Archaeological evidence can indeed 'do nothing' if instead of being preserved in the archaeological record, it is in Gwawrer's hand or pocket - or flogged off on eBay.
