Well I DO have a backyard and I prefer a shovel; however, all I found were
the bone remains of my much-loved pet dog Bear who my father figured would
be left undisturbed buried behind the barn.  He thought wrong.  Very
disturbing to uncover (as I was a child at the time) when what I really was
expecting were Native American artifacts from some great village.
