My daughter found a musket ball and an old coat button going back a
century or three.

Our old plot had lots of glass marbles and bits of clay pipe (smoking type)
and some prehistoric flint tools turned up too.

While mowing the lawn the mower found a long neck chain. After
cleaning it became obvious that it was silver. The value is unknown.

There was a mad old lady who used to encourage me to dig up my
orchard, by saying that the public footpath adjacent to it was the one
that King John was using when he lost the royal treasury in the wash.

I live around 35 miles west of Kings Lynne, traditionally associated
with the story.

So, no. I havn't.

I can remember pre-decimal coinage. It was a lot more fun - you would
regularly find George VI and V, Edward VII (and the odd VIII) and
Victorian coins in you change, and just rarely the odd William.

My long lost carving knife in the compost heap (blame children and pizza
deliveries)

Sounds like you need to hire a powerful Metal Detector (as used by a relly
for gold prospecting in Oz)

In my garden I found my marbles.

Are you sure they are yours. That's where I lost mine. Bigal

I used to pretend to find coins in the garden to get the kids digging,
but it didn't work.

I think I lost mine when we used them to play miniature cricket back in
the 1940s.
