Unusual finds while digging/working on job sites

Dug this big arrowhead shapec rock out of my garden earlier this year.

A old 38 SW, retrieved from a old homeplace that had been underwater at Lanier the Pistol was buried in Mud between 2 walls that had collapsed.

That's pretty cool!

Me too. Unfortunately the kid who works for me is pretty freaked out. We find bones a lot and it has never panned out. The stench and clothing made this discovery very suspicious. I believe it will be on the local news because it's right next to a (new) city hall complex and definitely the last part of metro Atlanta you would expect to find human remains. I hope it brings closure to a family out there.

So I’ve been a dirt dog, involved in outside construction of one type or another most of my life. All the different job sites over the years you run into some bizarre stuff. Today was a first! I guess my top 2 are an old slave graveyard near Stonecrest Mall and the Human bone and clothing today. Needless to say the authorities are doing their duty. I wonder when we’ll find buried cash, gold or a buried civil war stash of weapons!!!! Ok, I know I’m reaching a bit. Anyone else run into bizarre finds while doing your jobs?

If there was foul play involved with these bones and clothing, you know there is someone out there right now ****ting bricks when they saw you guys start construction on that sight!

I have been working this area the past decade. There is not much left as far as undisturbed anything. This was a 75' buffer of trees in the middle of massive new development.

When I was a kid, found an old Japanese Imperial Army marksman badge digging behind the Army barracks we lived in.
Need to bring it over, next time I go to visit motherland.

My dad was a builder in Floyd County back in the 70-80's. He was also a big indian artifact collector/ hunter. Whenever they would clear a lot, he would walk it looking for arrowheads and usually find something and give it to one of his guys. One time he found a really nice point and gave it to them. The next house, they decided to put it out in the yard and see if Pop would find it. He did and gave it to them without knowing what they had done. His guys did this on 7-8 houses before Pop realized what they had been doing.

I was working construction on a coastal island in Carolina over 20 years ago. Sand was digging easily until we hit tabby. It looked to have been a wall. We stopped to ask what to do. We were told it was remains of a civil war fort. I think the next day they broke it up with a backhoe. We were building villas for a golf resort.
