    What a great discovery ~ I love the juxtaposition of him finding the dagger from the 1600's and seeing the cell phone on the shelf!

    New subscriber here, I wasn't even aware of ongoing excavations. My head has been buried in overseas digs. I remember what came out of the mine shaft inside the original walls was astounding. From the looks of it, you're still finding extremely well (no pun intended) preserved remnants of our nation's origin. By the way, I was waiting for the embarrassing part in the video, but there was none. All I saw was a rather stoic moment of discovery. You are a very professional team.

      I was waiting for the embarassing part too. Oh, what entertains us humans. Great find, though! What fun.

    Seems like a useful thing to throw down a well.

    A dagger. A hammer. A rapier. I saw a militay axe. A pistol. All these at the bottom of a well. It is almost as if someone (s) did not want these weapons to be found. Hmmmmmmmmm.
