Rediscovering a UK Cemetery

An interesting story that involves a largely taboo and unethical practive in the US. However, under the correct authority, a lot of good can come from it.

"...

As the project nears completion, council's Health and Regulation Committee chair Andrew Antoniolli said the volunteers had made many interesting discoveries along the way.

Some of the finds include forgotten graves at the Ipswich General Cemetery, the second oldest cemetery in Queensland, with evidence of burials from the 1840s.

'Grave locations previously unknown to Council have now been found as volunteers using metal detectors located a number of metal grave pegs buried just below the surface,' Cr Antoniolli said."

MD Tattoos

Recently I saw an image on FMDF posted by a local Virginia Beach hunter, Max, of a fellow hobbyists tattoo he had snapped a pic of. I'm guessing it wasn't his own, but I could be wrong. But anyhow, being a member of the inked community, I thought it was pretty cool. I myself have arms full of tattoos, and what better way to show your dedication and enjoyment of the hobby then by having it marked on you for life.

I searched around the 'net for awhile and surprisingly enough, I couldn't find much in the way of people who had any. I have three examples, but I guess in reality it's not out of the ordinary. I think most MD people are rather conservative, and/or passed the age when they would go out and get a tattoo, so I'm okay with this being all I could muster. However, if YOU have an MD related tattoo, please comment to this post and I'll get it up here for the world to see!
