Allotments 4 All

This is the unbroken part of todays harvest. The white jars are Marmalade pots and most of the bottles are Camp Coffee.

Where unearthed did you find those ;D ;D ;D

How old do you think those things are?

What was your property before it was your property Eric?  You do seem to dig up lots of unusual things.  Makes for interesting digging though, more so than digging up nettle weeds - my digging tomorrow!  :(

There was no such thing as Rubbish collection in rural areas until about 10 years ago so they either burnt it or buried it. These are the top layer of a pit which goes down at least another metre, possibly more. We have found a few of these pits. Age? could be anywhere from Roman to 1980's. The site was the same shape on the earliest map we can find from early 1600's. All it says on that is "yards and gardens".

Interesting harvest Eric!  The most we have ever found has been the bones of an animal (wondered if someone has buried their dog on our plot), and also a few clay pipes.  :) busy_lizzie  

Worth money to collectors. But where's the plastic bag full of ,,,, what was it?? = Tim

As far as is humanly possible, we never ever look at the contents of the unearthed plastic bags. They are gently put inside another bag and binned. Believe me, you do not want to be around when one of those bags bursts. Nothing has rotted properly, because of the lack of oxgen etc. It is about as pleasant as rodding out the blocked sewerage pipes!

cor - that's impressive. Amazing they survived intact.

Mr Aqui once dug up a bottle, with rusty lid on. Amazingly it was whole, but i daren't open it for fear of what it might contain!

Thats where my Genie went!

Todays bottle found before it started to rain bears the inscription Aqua Artificielles. So you tell me Artificial Water.
