[QUOTE=vash;5061448]i love excavations!!! you never know what you will find.

i have found antique marbles, bottles, etc. in elpaso, texas we found an entire uniformed soldier buried with his rifle. effen awesome."

Where I am in Virginia we mostly find arrow heads (by the truck load)...and the odd civil war buckle, etc...tons of civil war bullets though...
We are generally small farm jobs so no work stoppages as a rule.
This find was a while back and the operator did not say anything for a few months...I guess in this economy he did not want to get laid off for a month while VDHR investigated the site!
So he kept his mouth shut about it!
Most large jobs have to have an archeology study/report with shovel & sifting every few yards before work starts.


What type of soldier did you find?
I can't imagine doing excavation in Europe...those guys must find crazy stuff...
