Old worlders could dig in their backyard and find an ancient text or artifact

whats an old worlder?
Connor Diaz
Whenever you try to dig for urban projects in Rome you find ruins
Hudson Perry
You can find artefacts in the new world too. Humans have lived there for 10,000 years now.
Jaxon Rivera
in uk everyone lives in victorian house with secret basements full of stolen artifacts from thirdie countries
Xavier Gomez
you could find something very interesting in my backyard, hehehhehe. It'd be like a fossil, except not that old hehehehe
Michael Cook
That happens sometimes in Mexico 2bh
Jonathan Hill
I read once that it's not uncommon to find roman coins and stuff like that. Even in North America people find arrowheads and shit. Down here there's literally nothing to be found.
Angel Long
I found a dolmen and 2500 years old scripts yet nobody is interested or know what language it was
Mason Long
In Mexico in an archaeological excavation they found a human skeleton and dated it over 200 000 years old.
Tyler Reed
Leo Brooks
Yes. I know a place where you can dig pretty much anywhere and find roman coins and other random shit
Kayden Thomas
not in my part. best thing people find are ancient tools. plains indians were very primitive and uninteresting.

My grandfather found a runestone under his apple tree when he cut it down. It's in a local museum now.
One time I was metal detecting with dad at a nearby ruin from an old farm and found several Arabic coins from the viking age. Also in a museum now.
And this girl was swimming in a lake and literally stepped on a pre-viking sword.

It clearly says "The pleasure of being cummed inside."

Yeah but it's a pain in the ass if you want to build anything.
At least here, if there's a private construction project (be a house or a skyscraper) and they find anything, construction must be stopped until a team of archaeologists (paid by owner of the plot or the developer) clear up the place. I know some cases of people who wanted to build a house but then found some shitty roman coins and they were forced to stop construction until they paid 30.000€ in archaeologist services or shit like that. Of course, you don't usually get anything in return.
There are also plots of land even inside city centers that some times remain undeveloped because people know there is historical stuff underground so no one wants to buy them.

I only find WW1 and WW2 unexploded bombs

>some egyptian pleb was digging in his backyard and found a treasure trove of ancient gnostic texts
they do no suffer
Adrian Brooks
only thing I ever found were some old coins and WW2 bullet shells. boring stuff, you can probably find equivalents in America
William Miller
It's mostly rusty bombs and bullet shells
Ryder Wright
cool stuff
Lucas Roberts
I find sea shells in my backyard from an ancient see bed but that's it
Hunter Garcia
Then why announce that you found the artifacts? just sell them in the black market and give something to the contractor to keep them silent.

>dig in my backyard hoping to find ancient artifacts
>actually dug up a corpse
>turns out my house was built on top of a Native American burial ground and now the spirits haunt me to this day
Matthew Adams
Yeah, that's precisely what a lot of people do. But it's illegal and you could go to jail if you are found to do this.
Even large companies building motorways have done it.
Christian Williams
>until a team of archaeologists (paid by owner of the plot or the developer) clear up the place
>we have to preserve history as much as possible, the gov't says you must stop
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR US TO GENTLY BRUSH THESE OLD COINS
such fucking bullshit, if the gov't really cares about something, just tell the developers to stop until the researchers finish, where's the logic to making devs PAY for the gov't bullshit
the gov't will probs sell the artifacts in the black market anyway
Hunter Miller
how do you know its 2500 years old?
