If it was an archaeological site then bust him. I support metal detector enthusiasts on private land because some of them find items that are historically significant and helpful to the professional historians that can interpret them. I live on Civil War earthworks and a battlefield and the hunters add to the area's history all of the time with their finds. Now hunting on the NP or NPS property is a big no-no.

Isn’t this the same kind of thing Indiana Jones did?Yeah, but at the end of the movie he always gave his stuff to "the museum." Although, as I recall, there were references to "the museum" paying him.

To be fair, he always was on the brink of getting killed while getting the stuff. :’)
