2 h. ago The Guardian view on metal detecting: hobbyists as well as experts can play a part in unearthing the past | Editorial

Detectorists and archaeologists sometimes clash, but the recent find of two Roman swords was the thrilling result of collaborationThe discovery of two swords at a dig in Gloucestershire has fuelled speculation that a Roman villa may once have stood there, at a period in the second or third century AD when Saxons were making inroads in the region.

My two-year-old son just started losing it, so I was distracting him with silly noises and games. It was largely working and he was mostly laughing and squealing with delight. I registered that it was annoying some passengers, but the alternative would have been much louder and annoying for us all.
