Yes, our heritage belongs to everyone, but the archaeological evidence is easily destroyed by the "(self-)chosen few" who simply want to collect cherry-picked bits of it for themselves.
Interestingly, South Newbold is a frequently cited example of a site where collaboration with artefact hunters has produced archaeologically useful data. I say "so what?", when the people that "work with archaeologists" almost certainly are up to something else when they are not. And here we have a prime case of exactly that. The other side of the coin. I don't though that those archaeologists that want to "network" with artefact hunters will be drawing attention to this.
