A four-hour archeological dig Saturday morning left one family's front yard torn up and a 200-year-old Nashville mystery still intact. Several local historians, archeologists and neighbors braved the cold and rain looking for the remains of Charles Dickinson, the only man ever killed in a duel with Andrew Jackson. He was slain May 30, 1806, almost 23 years before Jackson became this country's seventh president.
