Crazy finds

[Swampster]

This happened the other day:

 

Having speedlined the top two thirds of a scotts pine accross the garden we resorted to a little old skool chogging for the stick. All done and when clearing the logs from the flower bed my groundy says 'Have you seen this hole?', thinking it was goning to be a deeper than average divot I looked over and saw a little triangle of blackness!! On closer inspection it turned out to be a hole smashed through the cast iron inspection cover of a long disused pit some 4m deep, and with a chamber wider than could be seen. The lid had been covered by 150mm of soil with an establised lattice of roots etc, the client was as suprised as us. Domestic garden of a house in a 20year old estate, occupiers have had the house from new.

....suspect the unexpected...???

 

OK, not so exciting but what in your time have you encountered/found on jobs??

Found quite a few digging hawkinge housing estate, had rlc there 24,7. They were big, from the old airfield. Also found pipe bombs, laid all over airfield if we ever got invaded it would render the field useless for german planes.

Not as cool as a bomb or pit but this shovel stayed where the owner let it before he passed away.

 

Made me think about nature will always precede us...
