Interesting. There seems to be a major cultural difference on this.
On the one hand, the argument is that individuals collecting artifacts destroys the scientific utility of the excavation site. On the other hand, someone doing the work to find coins seems better than nobody doing that work and having them lay in the ground.
I wonder if there are more instances of this trade-off between potential good and immediate good.
