I accept what you are saying Nigel because I know how you feel about detectorists. Personally I thought the opening sequence was inspired. Surely they couldn't have known that it followed straight after 'The Last Kingdom' on BBC2 which is entertaining hokum about the Danes/Saxons/and King Alfred. The artifact deeply buried under a metre of soil closely resembled the Alfred Jewel ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Jewel If the sequence inspires any metal detectorists to start closely examining the land around fallen standing stones in the hope of unearthing such a rare object then they really are stupid.
