She nodded. "I," she was trying to think of the best way to word it as she listened to her partners because the truth was that she trusted them her husband aside so she already knew that whatever happened here, it would be okay because she trusted them to keep anything, if it were serious between them and maybe their spouses. "Okay that sounds good," Lucas RobertsDavid Lightfeather

He had liked work maybe he should move more to the work from home area maybe his boss would be okay with that as he took a second to take a seat and sit down because he did not want to freak out. He had no words and he was doing his best to keep himself from throwing up which was no easy task. David LightfeatherArtemis Fuller

Artemis looked more together than Lucas did. Hadn’t he seen any tv shows about archeology and this bone looked pretty soil stained to him. So firstly he said to Lucas “we need to discover if there’s anymore of a skeleton before we find more dinosaur bones. Those will be a deeper layer than who died here. So please don’t freak out on me”. He kept his voice soft and then started to dig towards were he expected to find a head and torso. Artemis FullerLucas Roberts

She listened and then she spoke. "Okay so far I think we are doing okay and I can get a few pictures on my phone and then once we get wehre we can put the data in I do not think that we will have too much to worry about. I can see why we might freak out now but other than that, we are innocent because we did not put it here we simply found it." She did wonder why it had seemed like no one else had found it however. "Am I wrong for wondering who did it?" she said. "Lucas," she said because he looked a little uncalm. "It's okay, let's get some gloves and help." Lucas RobertsDavid Lightfeather

He turned and found some gloves as he heard them both. "I'm okay I think," he said because he did not know if he was going to lie. It was a little freaky or maybe it was just that he should be more used to it than he was and still he did not. "Alright," he said as he found a pair of gloves. "Let me know if you need me to do anything." David LightfeatherArtemis Fuller

Davis started by looking over to Artemis. "That will work. As long as we document what we're doing it'll make the PD's job easier. Though I think the pathologist will be the busier person but as people we do wonder about things like who did it. That coin might even help date the burial as I've found nothing else so far that helps. Not even scraps of clothing". So now he turned to Lucas. "If we can expand the digging area round the grave we could see if its just one body or more. With three of us we can clear that up quite quickly. I know its Halloween season and we didn't expect this. We can do this all the same". He tried to be supportive but still had the feeling it was a cold case. He wondered if Peyton and himself would be doing anything for the spooky holiday. Ella was still so he figured they might. Lucas RobertsArtemis Fuller

"Of course," she said. Her first goal was to always do what she could to help the police even if her brother in law did work for the ose still she knew what was the law and she was never going to not be a part of the side of good. "They really did seem to go all out I bet that they never thought about anyone finding it anyway," she said. "This is so dang cool though." Lucas RobertsDavid Lightfeather

Something so awesome and gruesome at the same time. "I will start digging but if I hit anything I will probably throw my shovel simply out of fear so you guys please be prepared for anything to go flying at any minute," he said. He would always be a team player no questions asked. David LightfeatherArtemis Fuller

They just needed to dig down to the same level and as gruesome as this looked it was a situation that an archeologist would usually deal with. Not usually them but it was just a skeleton; nothing more than that. So David replied cheerfully "I'll so glad we're having fun today". So with three of them digging the area got expanded and there was still no other clues bar the coin; or perhaps there was. He thought he'd spotted something else. He dug round with his trowel and found musket balls near the right hand. "This is a cold case; no doubt about it. When was the last time somebody would have been shooting round musket balls on this island?" he posed curiously. He'd seen smoothbore firearms in museums before and now he was seeing the balls in the wild; this was a fun day. Artemis FullerLucas Roberts

She took a second and looked but she was careful not to touch. "Hundreds of years ago and that is simply an easy guess," she said. "We need a map or a design if one is found somewhere even if it is just in the form of a sketch to see just what this place looked like before it became this or whatever it also might have been before it too." That was how history could be so fascinating. "Should we tell anyone about this?" Lucas RobertsDavid Lightfeather

"We have to tell the cops. I mean I know we won't look like suspects or anything like that but we need to tell the cops so maybe they are aware of what is going on." He was of the mind that they did not know at least he hoped that they did not know for his own sake but he also knew that you could not know everything. "I wonder how it got here, was it buried?" His mind could go in strange places but still he had asked the question now. David LightfeatherArtemis Fuller

Artemis wondered if there was information on what this trail looked like round the 1800's. That seemed to be a logical place to start given the coin they found. They also also did have to tell the cops but as long as they documented what they found on a phone he doubted there'd be a problem. "At least from 1802 I'd think. That's when the coin was minted and its older than the pirate era. We do need to let the police department know what we found as a matter of routine. But I wonder if there's historical maps of the island in the ARI archives. That would tell us what used to be here before" David replied. "There's no evidence of a coffin nor cloth that we've found yet so I think this person was killed, their belongings taken and then they were buried. So we also need to know what was going on round here in the early 19th century. Quite possibly the early days of the old town" he added. They did have a mystery that would be fun to unravel as much as they could. Artemis FullerLucas Roberts

She did not know if there was a right or wrong way to handle this but she did know that eventually they would have to inform someone and she did not want them to feel like they had to hide anything. She listened to David and she nodded. "I think we have a bit of digging to do, literally and historically so for now it probably needs to stay between us maybe a few officers of the pd but not the ose, I do not know much about those guys."

He took a second. "I think I have had very few dealings with the ose but I will go once we have this safely put away to see what I can find in the library. I mean this is an island and now that my shock is wearing off it makes sense but I mean it is still mind blowing." Science had more than one way of being discovered though.

“I had a dealing with OSE UK before I came here. That was enough to convince me coming here was the better course of action” David replied. “So this stays with the Ashford PD as far as I’m concerned”. He still had scars from that experience and didn’t want to really think about it. They still needed to keep digging in the ground to see what else there was here but would need to carefully document this. “We tell the PD now and keep taking photos as we continue. We are effectively an archeology team now so we need to do this right” he added. So he very carefully worked round with the trowel where the skull rested. He figured it would separate eventually even with being careful. Artemis FullerLucas Roberts
