Dad's Find In Local Museum

"Unwittingly stumbled"? Makes it sound like he tripped over it in a field. Seems like there should be a nicer way to say "found whilst digging". I have a small collection of "found whilst digging" but stone native American artifacts are so common I just keep them on a shelf. Unwitting. It takes *some* wit to use a shovel. /indignant grousing

in fact Jerry I was being an observant banks man. The reason for the "unwittingly stumbled" is that the site owner does not want any one knocking on his door wanting to dig his garden up so all comments are deliberately obscure. regards Bob
