The Chariot Positioning Reveals All
While Mike had been certain that the tooth he discovered was human, as it turns out, it belonged to one of the horses that had been pulling the chariot. During the 14th century, it was not altogether uncommon for people of prominence to be buried with their prized possessions, albeit that it may be something that is frowned upon today.

Here’s the tricky part for the experts to understand: in a customary burial, the wheels would have been flat on the ground, which was not the case here. The wheels were perpendicular to the ground, which became a big head-scratcher for the archaeologists on site.
Machinery To The Rescue
It was a small miracle that Mike and his Metal Detector had discovered as much as they did on his two trips to the site. Once a bigger team was brought in, and in the months to follow, heavy machinery would be used to delicately excavate whatever secrets the ground had been hiding all those centuries.

It didn’t take long for archaeologists to completely close the area to public viewing, and equipped with state of the art technology like sonar and other radars, it was now possible for the team to scope the area in a multitude of ways, yielding positive results over time.
