Hello everyone,
My name is Danna and I have been digging in my backyard for about 6 years now. It is the greatest place ever to be. My mom bought 5 acres on the river, the house was built in 1950, so who knows how long this stuff has been buried. No one had lived on the property in over 20 years when we bought it. I seen a bottle sticking out of the ground where we had our dog for a while and begun to dig it up. It had just rained and to my suprise it happened to be an amber colored one gallon bottle. Then a few days later I found another one. After that I began to dig a little bit, finding various bottles and tin cans. I stopped digging in my hole after is was about 5 feet deep, and about 6 feet long. I let it sit for a couple of years, and then a few weeks ago I decided to check it out. My brother told me that I should dig deeper so that's what I did. Now my hole is huge. I found all kinds of thing; bottles cans, silverwear, clothes, cermics, ect. The best things that I have found so far is two teapots (complete), a compact, fingernail polish, and lipstick. It is so amazing to think about the things you can find just digging somewhere where people used to burry their trash. I realize now where the saying, "One mans gabage is another mans treasure" came from.
