Lots of lost marbles. The worlds best old brass sprinkler, buried a foot down. I still use that. It is 10 times better than today's sprinklers. An old mule shoe. Gosh, maybe I need to get back out there and start digging. I've found some pretty cool stuff. Thanks for the great question.

I guess that only works with wooden handles, but now I have plastic or rubber handles as well.

Before we bought this piece of property, the building on it was a dump of a rental. Not so nice people came and went with regularity. Our nearest neighbors have told us over and over how happy they were when we bought the place. (I think anyone might have been an improvement over the shady characters living here for many years.)<br /><br />Anyway, one day while digging in the dirt, we found what looked to be the remains of a dog collar with an identification tag still attached. Our neighbors' phone number was on it. When we took it to them, they shook their heads and said that at least they were glad they finally knew what had happened to their dog. So sad.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-17398761739875225702016-05-22T17:37:11.322-04:002016-05-22T17:37:11.322-04:00I just can't compete with the history of Engla...I just can't compete with the history of England!

Where I lived as a child there had been 6 very old cottages from the 1600's and we turned up all sorts of things. Everything broken would be buried in a pit, mainly crockery and glass. We found all sorts of pottery and broken clay pipes.
