Default What odd, interesting things have you dug up while gardening?

OT or not, this was an interesting thread. Thanks for thinking it up, OP!


You're welcome. At my previous house, I was scanning the front lawn with
a metal detector and recovered a 'coin spill'. From the dates on the
coins, I suspected a workman lost all the coins from a pocket in some
weeds or something. Even had a 1961 quarter - 90% silver.

I put them on my nightstand. The next time I looked over there the
quarter was gone! My wife gave it to one of my daughters for school
lunch milk!

Also, in the back yard of the same house we we found an old pitcher.
Kinda blue with white specks glaze on the outside and white with blue
lines marking cups on the inside! We still use it occasionally when cooking!

Nothing interesting at this house yet.
