Bob, that stuff is interesting to me. They had a program on the tv here in the US about the huge graveyard full of plague victims that they found in London. Once in a while the US news networks report that unexploded WWII bombs were found. Is that something that happens often? I work in construction but we've never found anything except old bulkheads and chunks of concrete. Tom Reese
