Quote:You'd think the value of these metal items, ever for simply their raw material value would far outweigh simply leaving them. The amount of work that it took to take some metal from a rock and turn it into a nice bronze disk is crazy if you compare to today!
Happened all the time, though. Look at Inchtuthil, where they buried *ten tons* of nails! Not to mention the Corbridge hoard. Compared to modern junkyards, that's nothing.
