Fortunate lady. I'm envious. Most significant item we've found buried
where I live is an automobile. It's still there; dunno what's in it.
Could be treasure? In the garden all I've "found" is a instant-read
thermometer but it was one I had "lost" the previous autumn.


There was an old abandoned car on private property I used to jog past
for a year or more. They finally checked it out, and found a body in
the trunk.


Car wrecks are discovered in the bush in some parts round here after
bushfires. If a plot of dense bush is near an access road people will drive
old cars in as far as they can and abandon them rather than pay a tipping
fee. They can build up unseen for years. Then comes a bushfire and after
the smoke clears among the ashes car bodies are revealed that nobody knew
were there.
