This is from CNN today: Go here: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/07/26/jamestown.dig.ap/index.html

A well from beginning Jamestown times has been discovered and is being dug out now. They've discovered a shoe, a pistol, and other things in it. Gives an explanation of how things of value can wind up in a well, >:( plus what happens to the wells when they dry up. Interesting read and picture.

Sorry -- missed the earlier posting of this info. :-[ Marc, feel free to delete this. :)
 

You never know what you will find in old wells, I guess when old wells dry up they use it for a dump, or whatever they see fit. Makes you think that maybe they were only trying to fill it up.
