I remember the event at the time

(The finding of the body not the burying of it)

I recall they originally called the body Pete Marsh.  I passed him by the other week.  It's strange but, once seen, I don't feel I learn much by looking at him and tend to just walk by.

I suspect I know where Anthony is going. The real value of such funds is less in the singular but in the sum of what the many such finds can tell us about the past especially when there are other artefacts associated with them. Looking at any one can be a bit morbid.
