Episode Description

As usual, it all starts with a question to Curious Nashville:

"I live in East Nashville, on Sharpe Avenue. We adopted a hound mix and she digs up bizarre trash. Did people bury their trash? Was there no trash pick up? Auto parts, beer bottles, air gun cartridges, porn videos. Others in East have described similar experiences."

We've learned this is not an isolated experience. You folks are obsessed with what you find in the dirt. So, why do we dig what we dig? We're unearthing some answers.

The phone lines and our live stream are open for this one. Give us a call at 615-760-2000 or pop into chat on our YouTube stream.

Guests:

Whit Hill, metal detectorist, musician
• Matt Pilcher, landscaper, Gardens of Babylon
• Benjamin C. Nance, Cultural Resource Consultant Manager, Tennessee Division of Archaeology
