Colleagues:  I just forwarded the 12:47 pm message (below) to the archaeologists on staff at the National Geographic.  They just informed me that “… right now we're sitting a boardroom with SHA, SAA, AIA, state arch'ists and metal detectorists to discuss the issues raised by ‘Diggers’.”

National Geographic contacted a historic house here in Maryland today

looking for a location for their show on metal detecting. They stated a

specific interest in southern Maryland.
