I volunteer at the Pea Ridge National Military Park whenever they need detectorists to help their archeologists locate or clear artifacts from an area. What baffles me is what happens to them after we are done.
The archeology dept at the University spends forever cleaning and cataloging them, then they stick them all in boxes in a warehouse where they will never be seen or put on display, because some snowflake might get upset by seeing something that might have actually killed someone.
The sad reality is that these were recovered back in 1989 and likely haven't been seen since, till this undereducated individual came along and thought they would save the day by calling someone even less informed.
