Strangest thing you have found under tree stumps

[Trigger]

I was just reading the thread about worn out grinding pockets & it got me thinking what is the strangest thing you have uncovered after you have ground out a tree stump????? under 1 stump i found 17 horse shoes but the worst would have to be a piece of railway track that had been used as a gate post then cut off 6" below ground level and said tree had grown over it.

Last week I found a 18" hinge under a stump, tool the edges off my teeth, the other thing I found was a gas pipe, ran right through the middle of the stump.

Digging thes ashes find

some good finds, but no treasure.

When we were kids on holiday in west wales, we would go fishing on a river, it seemed like every day all day. The river flooded once and washed down stream was a human skull, my mother made me take it back and throw it in the river but these days, can you imagine it!

Always wondered where that skull came from, and indeed where it ended up.

The stop-cock for my house. Fortunately not with a stump grinder, but there was a dead elm stump in the front garden which must have been a good 30yrs old and dead for long enough that one weekend whilst clearing up I leant on it and it fell over. No wonder nobody knew where the stopcock was - must have been buried for at least 40yrs.
