We had quite a few panes of greenhouse glass within a huge pile of compost (7ft high). Ant put the spade through the first pane and I then spent about 2 hours picking the bits out. Unfortunately there wasn't only one pane there! In the same compost heap we also found a ladies shoe. Was a good joke that the previous tennant had buried his wife, especially since he was a copper. We also had a wheelbarrow, a number of trowels, plenty of scafolding poles and lots of general junk on our plot. Luckily most of it was above the soil, although pretty well hidden in brambles.

Not only did the old goblin who owned our house before us bury his greenhouse, he buried quite a lot of an old lorry, the bumpers off a Riley, and last week after 26 years here we dug up a lace machine......

He probably was a viking, they used to be buried with the things they would need in Valhalla, like bows, axes, boats, chariots, horse....

Nothing is ever as it seems. With appropriate equations I can prove this.
