When I find treasure in my back yard, the last people I am going to call will be the government archaeologists.

I found treasure in my backyard when I tried to dig some postholes a few years ago. About 2.5 feet below the surface my entire property is nothing but old busted bricks and pottery. I mean every single posthole was the same thing. It was a real pain. Try digging through bricks. I asked around and found out that about 150 years ago or more the whole area was one huge brick factory. “Dobber Cris” is what the old timers called it. That means brick maker in some foreign language. Scandinavian I think.

I am not disagreeing with you here, but it might be the law.

It is just scary that people are more accepting of bigger and bigger government these days. As many folks are finding out, powerful governments are the worst thing that can happen to you... In fact, you could say more people were killed by their own government in the 20th century... Be afraid...

hey ditter, call me up, i will make sure i downplay the significance, anyways, unless there are human sorry, aboriginal skeletal remains, in the U.S., as long as its on private property, the only thing the government can try to take from you is taxes.

Now second thing, if its in Scandinavia, you cant call it Viking!! perhaps it was a tradesman’s horde, or a merchant, doesnt make it a viking just due to the time frame.!!
