Discovery NotesMoist soil inside a garden. Most likely very rich soil due to the amount of decaying plant matter. The depth was approximately 2-3 inches and the temperature was 75°F. The exact location can be found if you exit the front entrance of the library. You will be able to see a fountain and behind it a garden with a wall on the right. I exracted the soil about 2-3 feet into the garden and 2 feet away from the wall. The date of discovery was 9/12/2011.
