Buried Treasures

Though some may find little value in my newly unearthed anthropological discoveries, I am piqued enough to dig on. Fortunately I have no choice if I ever want to complete this landscaping project.

 

So, here we have a sub-sample of my finds, including a perfectly useable spoon and a piece of rebar that was vertically embedded. I have also found many marbles in all corners of the property, surely with some historic significance. Of course, broken glass and nails are not uncommonly encountered. Still haven't found a horseshoe...I did find a railroad spike when building the fence last year, though!

You should notify the authorities or perhaps local museums about these finds. I find a lot of marbles in our yard, too. Marbles, the sign of a lost generation.

Maybe these discoveries will put my house on the historic record. Hmmm...

The rebar could come in handy for something maybe.

I love marbles.
