* Drag the correct answer into all target fields

Relations between the professionals and the amateurs have often been hostile, archaeologists regarding metal detectorists as ignorant plunderers and detectorists resenting snooty archaeologists as high-handed and obstructive. Helped by the Act, which encourages people to their finds by offering a reward determined by a panel of experts, and by the contribution metal detecting obviously makes to our heritage, the two groups have reached a state of co-operation. Richard Hobbs, the British Museum’s expert in prehistory and early Europe, says it all comes down to individuals. Some everything, some will be tempted to slip a gold coin into their boot. There are plenty of discreet outlets for stolen antiquities. ‘Some countries have a complete ban on metal detectorists or them harshly,’ he says. 'But we are all after the same thing. These objects don’t belong to any of us. Hopefully, we are all rowing in the same direction.’
