[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 302603, member: 6370"]Hard to say?

Is the graveyard ancient? Medieval? 18th century? 17th? has it been sitting there forgotten for many years? Dont think I would do it at Arlington national cemetery but I might do it if it was an old forgotten graveyard on my own land...:) I wouldn't disturb any bodies of course. and then of course who is to say WHAT was placed and what is just lost after so many years? When is the cut off date for digging up bones? I say we go and put a halt to archeology...bunch of grave robbers! I wonder if any of my or others ancient coins came from a grave, maybe from the hand of a dead soldier on an old balkan battlefield...or if someone broke the law shipping them into the US....to ignore such issues would be morally wrong....I wont tell you you wont :) Of course this came from a thread about a guy wanting to detect for stuff in an old forgotten graveyard on his own land...nor was he going to dig up bodies...[/QUOTE]
