Fascinating stuff, I know arrowheads have turned up around here, but other than old farmer dumps which were a blast to root around in as a kid, nothing else ever seemed to turn up. We did have a mastedon found not too far away in Cohoes, NY, but other than small scallop shell fossils I've found in rubble from the stone quarry, never seen anything of interest. I think this area was under the ocean long ago, 40 miles north was the beach area. We've never uncovered anything significant during construction, but recall the site in Manhattan, where a new post office was going up, they found the remains of former slaves, job still got done, I know they had a tent set up there for a long time. Closer to home, state agency put up a new building close to the river, lot of old dutch artifacts from the 1600's turned up from there old landfills, job still went forward. Maybe you can research this on the web, talk to some people about the procedures involved,what happens if a discovery is made, you don't have to reveal your potential site, then make a decision, at least you have considered the possibility so far. It would not take long for heavy equipment to destroy something that may be in the subsurface. Talk about an interesting subject, I think I'd enjoy a career in something long these lines,who needs the big salary and stress anymore LOL !!! We used to spend hours and hours in the farmers dumps and anywhere people had dumped anything entertaining ourselves as kids, it was a blast, I still dig around in the ones that are left, old steel beer cans were still in collectible shape then, and of course all the old bottles, it was all like treasure to us. Then of course old barns and buildings were always a treat, some of the things that turn up are amazing, love old junk be it fossils or antiques, would rather find something than buy it in a store, was a lot of fun and an excellent stress reliever.

The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
