the head archeologist had spoke at our cabin fever meeting this year in a Augusta ME on about this Richmond site and was truly amazing what they had dug up and they were looking for volunteers as well to dig with them, the archeologist was a metal detectorist himself and is trying to convince his coleagues were not all pirates like they think of us as a whole.
How dare the "archies" desecrate such a site by wielding shovels, and sifters, and other digging tools, just to EXPOSE a long lost fort.
Why don't they leave it alone and make a park out of it and tell us it is the site of a fort.
That's what they do at other sites of historical significance.
Post it so that NO ONE can find and display artifacts.
Oh yea, and then you throw in the government's need for a bridge with NO REGARD for a site of historical significance, and doesn't care.
What a country!
They should let the md'ers get in there and recover as much as they can before it is lost forever in the name of progress!

Archaeologists get their mitts on a lot of things and no one gets to see them but "private archeology collectors errr professors". There was more to the Waco Mammoths story when it first came out years ago that what re-kindled the interest was "some mammoth bones found in the basement of the university no one knew about". The spin now is that they were working on it for THIRTY YEARS..........."Though the first bones were discovered in the 1970
