Talking with a friend today, he told me of some old coins found in a
garden
somewhere, apparently one was dated 43 BC and could be worth quite a bit.
What is the best, most valuable/interesting you have found in your
garden?

I feel sure some members of this newsgroup/forum would just HAVE to go
one
better than that, 42BC ? ;-)

Don't you mean 44BC?

In our last garden, while digging a pond we found a large cylindrical
object, about two feet radius and at least four feet long, but hadn't
uncovered the end(s) before calling the police in case it was a bomb.

They decided it wasn't a bomb and continued digging to reveal the ends.
They guessed it was a small ship's funnel.


Our last allotment seemed full of glass marbles and bits of old clay pipe
with the occasional stone age flint knife turning up. Lots of oyster shells
too, used instead of lime?
Present plot it's just stones although I did dig up a complete old bottle
when we just started on it.
