Things you find in the garden

Must have been a ‘twenty a day’ man

 

I found a 4.6 billion year old rock that fell out the sky when I was weeding

 

Clay pipes an coconut here too

 

that's very cool could be coins there

 

I found bt cable when digging garden when we first moved in in july only 4 inches down

 

well my metal detector came in handy and I traced its route through the garden to the bt manhole cover in the pavement

 

Good job it didn't hit you on the head!

 

When driving diggers and doing gardens, i've found, gas pipes 2 inches deep, 10,000 volt elecy cable 4 inches deep, a well and the pumping thingy is now in a museum, bones, cars and all sorts

Edit
On farms, when digging through old ponds, your find old machiney, tryres, calfs, palstic and all sorts

Dug through track and found lots of tryres, tryres were the base of the track

When digging up or breaking up concrete always were a mask as it's a favourite place to bury asbestos

 

I've got an old icecream tub in the shed full of some of the more interesting bits and pieces dug up in my back garden (Victorian house, on the site of market gardens). Again, it includes quite a few bits of clay smoking pipes. Also many fragments of pottery, a bone shirt stud, a brass button marked "Australian Military Forces" (WW2?) and a small green plastic soldier brandishing a bayonet.

Sometimes there are things that look like scraps of worked flint, feasible I suppose as there were certainly prehistoric settlements in this area. But I am not an expert and they are probably only geofacts, i.e.e naturally formed: Geofacts

Also in the shed, lying on a little shelf formed in the apex over the door, is a flint I found which looks like a primitive reclining human figure - I got all excited about that one, thinking I had found some kind of primitive earth goddess, but again I'm pretty sure she's actually a geofact. But I thought she might as well get put to good use looking after things out there anyway. If anyone wants to see a pic I will go out there and take one!

 

Yes a picture would be very nice
