Topic: What's the strangest thing you have ever dug up on your allotment?

[Robert_Brenchley]

I dug up another ten yards of concrete path the other week. It was all buried whebn I started; most of it is exposed now.

I have unearthed a piece of heavy duty chain, still attached to something so deep I can't dig it out.
Perhaps one of the previous owners had a goat........or perhaps a slave!

Maybe it leads to an underground shelter where people have been living for umpteen years like something out of lost.

I vaguely remember those stones from years ago, you had to break them to see what was inside,someone gave me some as a gift, for ages I didn't break them but eventually the suspense was killing me and I did, I was very dissapointed. I can't remember what the packet claimed but it did say 'sometimes' I guess it wasn't my turn, I would be curious to know what others found XX Jeannine

Ooooo,  last night I whilst in the garage I came across a rusted up gin-trap that I dug up on a previous lottie.  (I've set it one or twice in our garden - but obviously there is no gin there 'cos I never caught any :( )

And I also once found a perfectly servicable bow-saw (needed a replacement blade only).

I`ve dug up at least three peices of worked flint and a victorian pipe stem in the last two weeks and I have a complete mouse skeleton but that was in a plant pot.

We have an old Anderson air raid shelter buried under part of our plot.  It's marked on the plans and the lady it belonged to can remember sheltering in it during WWII.  We're certainly not going to dig it up!  And last year I lost a sapphire from my engagement ring :'( - someone else can dig that up (unless I get there first)  :)
