Well, at least it was bad while it lasted... now we will never know what happened to the sword!

Any archaeologists that dig up graves with shovels, or burn True Crosses and crystallized Iron Age Queens deserve to be out of work IMHO.
Ahh Bonekickers. My favourite piece of ludicrousness wasn't even archaeological. It was the sword-shaped Virginia Creeper pointing the way to the entombed slaves. I've got a Virginia Creeper in my garden and it grew 5 metres over the ground last the summer in all kinds of directions, so who knows what supernatural forces were holding the sword creeper in place for 200-odd years. :face-huh:

Perhaps we should have a whip round for Mark Horton...

I'm sure I'd be gutted, if I'd managed to last more than half an hour! Does this mean Mr. Hosty will have to change his signature?

It wouldn't surprise me that the IfA didn't manage to rope them in before the axe fell.
