Talking with a friend today, he told me of some old coins found in a garden
somewhere, apparently one was dated 43 BC and could be worth quite a bit.
What is the best, most valuable/interesting you have found in your garden?
I feel sure some members of this newsgroup/forum would just HAVE to go one
better than that, 42BC ? ;-)

Don't you mean 44BC?
In our last garden, while digging a pond we found a large cylindrical
object, about two feet radius and at least four feet long, but hadn't
uncovered the end(s) before calling the police in case it was a bomb.
They decided it wasn't a bomb and continued digging to reveal the ends.
They guessed it was a small ship's funnel.

Our last allotment seemed full of glass marbles and bits of old clay pipe
with the occasional stone age flint knife turning up. Lots of oyster shells
too, used instead of lime?
Present plot it's just stones although I did dig up a complete old bottle
when we just started on it.

I can go 2052 or so times better than that if I look in the loose change
jar. Beaky, you really are a prick!

I found half a crown, also a flint arrowhead. Dunno how old it is.
But pre-Roman. Whoever lost that arrowhead must have been pretty
pissed off. Days of work I should think making it.
BCE I though it was now to please our raghead friends in the BBC?

Half a crown!!! I know of someone who got into a rage over a lost penny, how
would he feel losing 30 times that much ? ;-)
