moreSix years ago, the Nagy Gyula Regional Museum of Orosháza made a cooperation agreement
with nine metal detectorists. Since then, the relationship between the professionals and the volunteers has been
excellent, in fact, exemplary: participants are doing the collecting and recording work in collaboration, as well
as the presentation of the results. This paper is also a product of thinking together. The authors would like to
present the finds of a building on a significant archaeological site collected by metal detectorists. This object is
located on the border of today’s Kaszaper and Végegyháza. Its “operation time” can also be considered a border
area because it existed at the intersection of archaeological and ethnographical periods. However, as we will see,
these borders do not separate, but more likely connect space and time either, as well as the representatives of
metal detectorists and professional archaeologists.
