Well, at my old place it was always like being on an archaeological dig doing the garden. I found musket balls, old toy cars, bullets, roman coins, a celtic brooch, celtic tokens and a rare Edinburgh half crown in great condition. I also found a really strange statue thing which is painted cold bronze but have no idea what the heck it is, how old it is or where its from
Thats really beautiful Sam, i keep finding stone cores, about 2inch diameter, i think may be left from mining days, a hole appeared in the lane last year, we had a look down ( as you do) And it was a mine shaft. They put mini traffic lights there, for a year! Then the council tipped a couple of lorry loads of ready mix down, scarry really.
I love digging into the earth, something satisfying, and bck breaking!
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Thank you. I have no idea about it. Contacted museums and auction houses and they didn't know or had never seen one before.
WOW That is a little scary Lyn. Im now in a mining community myself and have found nothing but tree roots and modern rubbish in the garden. However, when out walking there are many slag heaps that have naturalised over the years and look like lovely green islands in the landscape
