Title: Acid soil Post by: wittsy1 on February 20, 2016, 07:53:07 AM Is acid soil a natural occurrence or is it brought about by Industrial fall out. We have been surrounded by Oil Refineries and Power Stations for 40+ years. I'm guessing that fallout from these industrial sites will have had an effect on our local soil and hence the metal artifacts in it. What do you think.

With regards to he refinery's,I would have thought that they may have even helped to protect the coins and artifacts,well that is judging by the amount of oil slick I get when I jetwash my patio !!....LOL.... Just a thought 👍😁 |
