...bicycling to the site, Leventhal began to sweep the area with his detector. Soon the beep-beep in his earphones changed to a wail. Leventhal unsheathed his 8-in. scout knife, dug through the dry soil and unearthed a peculiarly shaped cylinder that he thought was just "another sewer pipe." Then the detector sounded off for another hit. More knife digging, and Leventhal was suddenly staring at what seemed to be curls on the back of a bronze head. He dug out the head, wrapped it in two T shirts and a towel, and went back to the kibbutz, where...
