This is a very good opportunity for you to address the difference between archaeology and treasure hunting...archaeology is a science, the the location and associational patterns of artifacts is every bit as important as the objects themselves. Treasure hunters do not care about that, and subsequently destroy context (read: data). It's a little like reading a book where pages have been cut out - you can't read it.
