Good story, I had relatives who went to the Gold Rush, & found gold, They brought back a small wooden box with their gold inside, sadly, the box has been lost over the years. Fossis........................

What is interesting to me is that the remains will be "studied" by the archaeological firm. If the remains had been Native American, there would have been an outcry for them to be re-intered. But since they are probably Caucasian, they will be forever tested, studied, and left to rot in a drawer somewhere...and for what? The poor guy should be reburied and a small marker left as a sign of respect. This kind of elitist BS makes me sick. Archies are soulless, IMO.
