2006-08-08 18:47:03 · update #1
What happened to the brass plate? Where is the silver chain? Have the skeletons been identified? This was over 120 years ago, are you sure the source is reliable?
AND WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR QUESTION?!

Hooray! Treasure hunt! I'll get the pickaxe, you get the shovel!
We'll need a sturdy mule, too. Oh, and bring some snacks.
