MrSimpson;
It sounds to me like you could do some additional rump covering with good digital photos, with a well marked meter stick, in the frame, some sketches, and depth measurements.... as well as the GPS readings.
Perhaps the buddy system could also provide corroboration, of any finds, by either person?? If you established a system, like that, it could go a long way toward stalling off those who are against metal detecting. It would demonstrate genuine interest and care, in pursuit of the hobby. You have heard the saying: fore warned is fore armed... well this would be like fore armed is fore warned.
Hey! Offer some classes in ethical metal locating.
Fortunately, the VERY ancient history, here, has very low metal content, but there can be an occasional copper implement. (I have never been lucky enough.)
The best local find, that I have seen was a donut shaped button of Phyllite schist, found in a cave, 83 km from here, by a UBC (official) dig conducted by professor Knut Fladmark.... he estimated 10,000 years, for an age. It worked with a leather thong, much like a saddle cinch ring, although it could not have been more than a clothing or personal article, as Phyllite schist is very soft and flaky. (easy to form)
This cave (which I frequented as a child) has a HUGE stone at the entrance, and there is a meter gap, between it and the cave.... this is where they dug, mostly.
