That's an impressive bit of technology and effort.

The archaeologists round here are going to go apeshit!
All the stuff they've kept quiet about because they didn't want it looted by metal detectorists is now on public display

Unintended consequences of technology and the project. What benefits one area of study creates problems for another discipline.

It's an inevitable issue.
Mind you in our area they've marked some areas as rig and furrow which haven't been in my lifetime!
Also one field next to us has 'ditches' marked. Actually the owner's son used to do a lot of motorbike scrambling and used that field. The 'ditches' may be what's left of the course he made for him and his mates

I won't tell anyone if you don't. It'll be our little secret.
