Today's departure with surprise

Today my hunting companion and I go to a mountain that "promises" After a while and taking out a button from an 18th century uniform, a coin from 1886, my friend calls me scared and says ... I think I have found a purse.
I help him to scrabble, because it was something deep and when he takes it out and I see it, I tell him: "leave that in its place, it is a funeral urn with the ashes of a deceased person" :eek:

Scary situation. Here, one can GPS and report to local authorities for further confirmation. If no name attached it could be either an improper interment or possibly an animal. Either way burial spots are regulated for public safety purposes.
 
I found an urn at the local university. Small, about the size of one of those half sized coke cans. Probably drugs inside-- it was buried in a way that it was going to be retrieved and had a sickish sweet odor.

Anyway, got a couple bucks for scrap value.

It looked like it had been around for many years, the earth was very compact and hard. Some years ago, it was also prohibited to spread the ashes both on land and at sea, for public health reasons, but this I think was earlier.

WoW
That's always been one of my Fears of digging up a body attached to the crown jewels.
The others landmines. 😁

Sooner or later it could happen. Land mines are not that common, but there may be some unexploded bomb. On hard ground I use a pickaxe, but I never dig in the center of the target. I always do it around and then carefully lift up the dirt. Just like we do with the shovel. Thus, I make sure not to hit the wishbone.

You should be in the bomb removing business :LOL:
 
Dan, there was a civil war here between 1936/39 So I'll make sure, just in case... Although it also helps to not destroy what you find. I've seen people take out nice pieces with beak strokes😱

That explains the nick on my 1853 quarter. Oops! :(
 
I thought I saw it in a photo you posted. I think it was by a river...
