Backyard Archaeology-The Winter Finds

I really thought my backyard archaeology wouldn't result in any significant finds until the Spring. But a few days in December, January, and February, I spent time in my yard pulling weeds and trimming trees and bushes. After three years I truly thought I had found most of what was in the yard to find. I was wrong. This winter I found more objects than during the Fall. I'm starting to wonder if my yard possess a vortex to another dimension that sends objects through to this realm. That, or my yard is producing items as if it were a 3-D printer.

This winter yielded a baseball, nice bread knife, marble, screw driver, ink pen with ink still inside, blue ball, glue gun stick, spade, metal butterfly, swimming goggles, a toy spaceship, metal stacks and wire, and a few other random items.

Backyard Archaelolgy: Last Finds of Year Three

As we are already in November, all major yard work is now complete for this season. Thus, the last bits of treasures for this year have been unearthed from my backyard. Though as abundant as the discarded objects have been, I wonder how much or how little this winter's rains will uncover for my discover next Spring.

These last items were found in two batches. The first batch found two months ago included a small toy car, a marble, and other parts to something.

The last relics found this past month are as follows: Part of a spatula, a spoon, part of a snorkel, a folding toy person/robot, a golf ball, a screw/bolt, and a metal tie down in the shape of a plus.

PS Ignore the date on the photo as I was too lazy to set it in the camera before taking this photo. That's the age of the camera.
