First, I would like to thank all who replied to my previous post about the bullet that I found yesterday. Today, I went out and took another look around until the bulb digger that I was using bent. I am going to have to cut the handle off and remount it before I can continue. I found a few small items though, before it bent on me.
I found a quarter in the area of the old rose garden that the previous owners had. Being that we moved in around 1963 or 1964, I had some hopes but it turned out to be 1965.
I also found a couple pennies but they turned out to be 1970 and 1977. Then, there was the old key chain that I think came from some indian charity. My dad used to get those things in the mail all the time, along with napkin holders and such. I think they all came from the same place. Anyway, that was a cool childhood memento. Then there was the hit that I got. Was supposed to only be a few inches down but I kept chasing and chasing till I had a 12" deep hole about 8" accross. My brother had told me of an old story about my other brother and a friend who did an experiment on mice for a science fair back in High School. Not knowing what to do with the mice, I guess they put them in a jar and burried them. I kept saying to myself. Don't be a jar of Mice, Don't be a jar of mice.... As I dug, I then used my trusty Bullseye II and got a hit in the bottom of the hole. I brushed away some dirt and saw that I had something rather large. I cleared away around it to find what appears to be a cover to go over a drain pipe. Threaded on the side with a square shaped top for grabbing with a pipe wrench. Then there was the aluminum tube that is in the picture below. Don't know what it is but it is open on one end and sealed on the other. Looks like a cap from something or might have had a cap over it.
Got to run for now. I have a couple thoughts about the Bullet that I found yesterday. Will try to post those later.
