Hello Elton, Matteo and all,

I assumed just the opposite! I figured it had been plowed up, probably
because in it's surface was described as being "severely altered". Also it
was found at 3pm in the afternoon. Maybe though, the alteration (I'm
assuming rust) occurred between 1960 when it was found and 1974 when it was
described.
Too bad it didn't hit and barbecue the oxen ;-)
Regards,
Frank
