Years ago, I found the remains of a metal peach bucket buried in the woods behind this c1870 one-room school.
When I partially pulled it from the ground I noticed it had bones and burnt ashes in it.
Then I saw a small thigh bone and what looked to be a leg bone. :icon_scratch:

Of course I started to freak out thinking I'd just found the bones of a child that had secretly been buried in the woods.
I called the cops and they took the bones for examination to a local hospital... turns out they were pig bones.
I now understand that pig bones closely resemble human bones. :laughing7:

Good job on returning the jar of 'whatever it contained' to where you found it Ryan. :thumbsup:

My buddy and I went out last night and re buried it. IN THE SAME HOLE. Just a foot deeper. Hopefully no one will find it again...I Should be Good to go. But........ If I hear scratching at my bedroom door at odd hours of the night, I know who to blame!!

Sprinkle the hole with pull tabs and can slaw to deter future detectorists, after pull tab number 2, I would move on
