Digging up some strange stuff

[out in the cold]

I bet it was a heart in mouth moment Peppermint. I would have been hopping from foot to foot and annoying Mr KCN (aka out in the cold) to dig faster.

Are they pretty pieces you can decorate a pot with Rustylady?

I just had a flashback... My dad had a big deep trench he used to dump rbbish in, whit was full he set it on fire! Left all the bits of tin/glass etc in there afterwards. I really feel for whoever has that house now.

But digging faster would spoil the suspense!

I have a picture of Kitty Cold Nose and Out in the cold, sitting side by side on the sofa, each with their laptops, communicating through this Forum! Any minute one will say, "Would you like a coffee?" and the reply will be.......

Here's the list we've dug up out of our garden over the years

armchair
roll of carpet
bits of smoking clay pipe
stone lintels
stone slabs
quarry tiles from 2 rooms
found a coal seam when digging the pond
plus assorted bits of broken tools and toys

Should have rang Tony Robinson up & got "Time team" on the case.

Nothing but stones/boulders and weeds. I now have tiny bottle envy.

Oh and what a great way to motivate us all to get digging, I can't wait to get down there and dig deeper and faster than ever lmao.

I dug something up today. Yay.

It was a bit of mesh backing from a clod of turf. Boo.

I dug this up when I was planting a peach tree a few days ago. Seems very appropriate

What are clay pipes? If you look at my old post (doing up a jungle of a garden on a budget) -( or something!) all the interesting stuff was probably taken away by the huge diggers Although, when we were putting the little fence ina few weeks ago we came across 2 mushroom crates and an oven!!! Who buries an oven? Haven't even started digging my beds yet so i'll see what's instore - good thread btw!

Yeah, it IS a gardening forum. Of course you are gonna dig up the odd leaf!

You can't imagine how pleased I was when I cleaned the mud of this bit of old plastic and realised it was a cockerel (see how polite I'm being?) He's sitting alongside me right now

How big is the fossil, green thing?

I have some fossilised dinosaur poo

It's about 12in x 6in
I got the small one.
It was about 20ft below ground level.

Found about thirty of them on the old sea bed below waterstock near oxford

Ohh dinosaur poo hope my kids don't see this ,they will want to find some

Years ago I used to work in a hospital garden in Surrey. One day one of my workmates was digging up some soil and leaves in the trees. Suddenly he started waving his fork about and yelling..."I've got a bomb stuck on my fork!" It was a small WW2 morter bomb. The army had to be called to take it away! It livened up a boring afternoon!
