This thing was a pain in the ass

Did they shut the operation down ?

 

[Skeeter]

They had the area shut down for a bit. They were out there with brushes sweeping away.

Well my excitement went sideways quickly...sorry for the inconvenience Skeeter! Is this common in coal country?

It can really throw a monkey wrench into plans. Utah has lots of human bones buried there. A couple months before we were suppose to start on a project there a contractor was digging and found bones and our portion of the project was on hold all summer.

for the life of me I dont understand why people get so worked up about bones... Humans have been on the planet for a LONG time, theres gonna be bones around, big deal!

I believe It's mostly to investigate incase it's a crime scene. Once LEO gets involved I suppose there's a chain of commands they have to follow.

Not real common. I’m sure there are a lot of artifacts that don’t get noticed. There are some Indian items that we have to mine around.

Did you guys see on Gold Rush, the guy and his 2 sons, that Parker went to see that dug up a baby mammoth? He ended up donating it to the government and I think he said either 2 weeks or 2 months later, someone offered him 2 million dollars for it. He had already donated it but he said Karma blessed him with good gold since finding and donating the baby mammoth.
