    Not weird, but I was very glad to find my Felco secateurs in a flower bed 2 years after I lost them.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • I’m still looking for my kitchen scissors which I lost 2 years ago in the garden. There is still hope 😀

    I my garden.

    Maybe floated off someone’s worktop. 
    I came to the conclusion that someone had an expensive dinner just put on the table, the door to the garden is open, goes quickly to the kitchen to bring the wine, comes back, and is wondering where the lobster has gone. 

    I my garden.

  • I’ve dug up a few corgi/dinky toys, metal bolts, crockery, glass galore, very old small bottles (complete) but never any lobsters  :

    If anyone digs up in a remote part of our garden,  they’ll find a toilet, cistern, hand basin and plinth.   The tip wanted too much money I thought,  considering all we use in resources for our £300.00 a month is a refuse collection once a fortnight or once a month if they forget.

    I found a horse shoe after spreading some organic manure.  Not organic but I thought it authenticated the source!
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    It happened to my steak that I’d left on the grill pan on the lowered grill door while I carried the other plates through to the dining room … the culprit was still there … our young Labrador was licking his lips and refusing to look me in the eye … 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    My neighbour found a civil war era musket ball in his hedge.

    When we moved in, lurking in what we thought of as the lawn mower memorial ground, a graveyard for at least four mowers, was an Eames wire chair, too rusted to be salvageable.

    The Victorian washing copper which we unearthed is put to good use every year as a container for the petunia Red Velour grown in front of the brick shed.

    Lidl often do frozen ones cheap around Christmas. Never fancied trying one. They look like huge beetles to me. The cooking method for live ones seems really cruel too.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
