Metal detectorists join forces with archaeologists to reconstruct early life in UK

Article Abstract:

The Portable Antiquities Scheme, Lincolnshire, England, brings metal detectorists together with archeologists in order to discover more about the history of the UK particularly around the 870s. The two groups are collaborating to try to establish if the Vikings set up homes in the East of England. The detectorists are allowed to keep their finds after they have been studied. Prior to the initiative archaeologists and metal detectorists were often suspicious of each other motives.
