This isnt archeology.

This is just digging around a yard, looking for stuff that AT BEST you can find at any retro shop or antique store. That is if you actually find anything.

And what are you going to find that you simply couldn’t get by asking people that grew up with the guy, or his relatives, who are still alive?

At some point, they will unearth Indian artifacts, and Chief Warren from the DemoCrat Tribe will step to lay claim.

Maybe there are plans to demolish the building. He was after all an influential person, he made history. If the building and land are re-used, this could be the only opportunity to see what’s there.

I don’t expect they’ll find much, maybe some of those green plastic soldiers?

Archaeologists make a big deal out of everything. They did a small dig in a cemetery my bud and I worked in. They found a piece of an iron fence. They got all excited. We showed them where 50 more pieces were and a 50 year old picture of this old iron cemetery fence that surrounded a small plot.

They got paid and their dig was a farce.
