The History Channel should probably consider airing a reality show called “Suburban Archeology.”
Most of us have ancient artifacts, priceless and otherwise, buried in our closets and drawers, refrigerators and pantries.
Getting ready to go on a dig, I always prepare like a real archeologist by tucking my pant-legs into my socks in case of snakes. (We live in the woods.)
Then, I gather the tools of the trade — rubber gloves, trash bags, new contact paper — and set off to discover what valuable relics I can unearth.
Sometimes I find treasure, such as the earring I thought I’d lost. Other times I locate only a limp stalk of celery, which I destroy immediately, lest a random lightning strike bring it to life like some vegetable Frankenstein.
Heck, even real archeologists strike out sometimes, right?
Once I hit upon an old, old bottle of molasses in the pantry... http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5491/my-own-summer-blockbuster-raiders-lost-band-aids/
