Hi guys!
Whilst digging my lottie I found pieces of old grave stones. Very strange! Maybe the person before used them as stepping stones? The cemetery is opposite the site so I guess they came from there.
I was wondering what unusual things anyone else has found on their lottie? Weird veg, objects etc?
Fingers crossed that you don't find old graves! ;D
Oddest things I've found - a brass tap and a bucket of concrete
Little bits of pottery and some pieces of clay pipe, also lots of bones, think it looks like a dogs. This conjures up the picture of a little old man, smoking a pipe, having a cup of tea with his dog by his side and when the dog dies he decides to bury him there where they have spent many happy hours together. Just call me sentimental! :) busy_lizzie
We have just found a stone teddybear. Taking it to a dealers to see how much it is worth. Might pay for the green house lol
Nice one Joji! Turn up lots of old pottery, a childrens 'Noddy' saucer, and a great big long rusty key! Still looking for that roman gold.
I would clean them up and get them checked out Emma :)
Half of a set of false teeth. :o Waiting for other half to turn up ;D ;D

I find masses of bits of clay pipes. My best finds have been a couple of bits of shrapnel, and an old stone sink which was promptly stolen. I do know where it is, one day I'll get it back.
Two parsnips. Only strange because I didn't sow any ???
I got a bucket of concrete too ;D Old fashioned washing machine and about five zinc baths - full length jobs :) Oh, and a fish tank which is now a cloche
Masses of broken china.............think the previous occupant had tea-set fetish, grave type plastic flowers, (I back onto the cemetary) and a safe..................empty of course :'( :'( :'(
A sleeping bag (complete with mildew pattern) a shaving brush and lots and lots of empty booze bottles.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to find strange things! It is certainly an interesting life having an allotment.
Glad some of you have found uses for the things you have found! ;D
