Did you see Antique Roadshow last week? George Harrison's very rare guitar,valued between £300,000 to £400,000 and depending who wants it would probably go for more.

Harrison couldn’t even play guitar. He just strummed away over a backing track. Manufactured pop.

Article about nighthawking in The Guardian, corrections below:

Only their equipment would have given them away: metal detectors, a shovel and a spade, that they humped uncomfortably up a vertiginous path.

No one goes metal detecting with a shovel, we are not trying to fill a wheelbarrow. A spade or trowel are most commonly used.

If you find treasure – gold or silver – you have to report it. Failure to do so is a crime.

If you find artefacts made of precious metal and more than 300 years old or hoards of coins again more than 300 years old then you have to report it. Single coin finds do not have to be reported neither does any valuable find if it's less than 300 years old.

The nighthawker’s best friend, apart from a metal detector – which retails for as little as £40 – is the television show Time Team, which showcases areas of archeological significance.

You can't buy a metal detector worth switching on for £40, viable machines retail starting at around £250. I very much doubt anyone uses Time Team for information when you can go on Heritage Gateway website and get exact locations of historical sites and archaeological finds on a map for all of England and Wales.

****ing amateurs.
