Have you ever hunted a place, and based on (1.) what you found, (TARGETS) (2.) how you found the targets, (3.) The age of the targets
Made a concept in you mind about the reasoning as to why you found what you found and its circumstances ?
I will give you one of two examples that I can remember but there are probably hundreds...
1. I was hunting an early Roman site in Spain, and it was CLEARLY a Roman ONLY site.. We found a few Roman coins and pieces of lead which are very common on Roman sites, but little else... But then out of the blue we dug a 1751 2 REALS Spanish coin and later a Second
Silver Spanish coin.... There is NO indication that any Spanish people actually lived on the site, no buttons, no bullets, no pieces of scrap copper, no buckles, No other Spanish household trash at all... So why did someone with Silver coins come to this site in the 1700s to visit and lose their coins ? I made the theory that there was actually Roman Ruins here in the 1700s (now just a farmers field) and that wealthy Spanish people came to visit the Ruins in the 1750s or 1800s losing a few coins when they did.. and now 200 years later the Ruins are gone and nothing but a farmers field remains...
Do you have situations like that where something you found seemed out of place and you tried to figure out why..
Of course we will Never really know...
