This article analyses the historical formation of the metal-detectorist community in Finland, and, at the same time, shows that its homogeneity is somewhat illusory. The study is based on a questionnaire survey of amateur metal detectorists and professional Finnish archaeologists, and their attitudes towards each other. We combine a statistical examination of the structure and attitudes of the amateur detectorist community with an analysis of the discourse used to define and describe the hobby. In Finland, during the last decade, amateurs have become established as a heritage community with their own opinions, internal discussions, and forms of cohesion, and have attempted to become organized into societies. Examining the practice of detecting through the formation of heritage identities has crucial implications for how the challenges posed by metal detectorists are understood. Archaeologists should not just disseminate information on legislation and the scholarly requirements of archaeological material, but instead endeavour to make cultural heritage more broadly meaningful for a wider audience.

“魁地奇”和新遗产身份的出现——芬兰的业余金属探测

本文分析了芬兰金属探测器社区的历史形成,同时表明其同质性有些虚幻。该研究基于对业余金属探测器和专业芬兰考古学家的问卷调查,以及他们对彼此的态度。我们将业余侦探社区的结构和态度的统计检查与用于定义和描述爱好的话语分析相结合。在芬兰,在过去十年中,业余爱好者已经成为一个拥有自己观点、内部讨论和凝聚力形式的遗产社区,并试图组织成社会。通过形成遗产身份来检查检测实践对于如何理解金属探测器所带来的挑战具有至关重要的意义。考古学家不应仅仅传播有关考古材料的立法和学术要求的信息,而应努力使文化遗产对更广泛的受众具有更广泛的意义。
