Ouch. Does anyone else think these two statements are compatible...?

" Untold numbers of soldiers and their weapons remain buried across the vast
landscape of World War Two's Eastern Front. Three war diggers are racing
against time to save this history from being looted or lost."

"No period of history is left untouched. Kris has dug up Iron Age relics,
Roman coins and lots of WW2 / Battle of Britain artifacts, including
regimental badges. It was only through metal detecting that Kris became
obsessed about the history that surrounds all of us."


They do provide a page on their site about "Responsible Metal Detecting"... 
http://natgeotv.com/za/nazi-war-diggers/responsible-metal-detecting
but I don't see anything about professional archaeological methods, or where
these finds will end up.

Does Latvia have unusually lax heritage protection laws...?
