    Been digging away in the garden and found lots of weird stuff including a little gun which at first I thought was a water pistol then once I felt the weight thought must be a cigarette lighter, decided to clean it up a bit and found some writing etc which we then googled and it turns out its a vintage 1962 James Bond replica toy worth a few quid apparently in good condition which this obviously isn't after spending 50+ years in the mud lol

    I have a colleague who's a bit of a metal detecting buff, he's forever finding old coins etc, soak that in baking soda and water for a few hours, clean gently with a toothbrush, it'll be worth a bit more!

    If I dug up my parents old garden it would just be a few cat skeletons, some mice, couple of rats, a dog, a rabbit, a parrot, a budgie, and probably a 20 pack of John Player Special that I buried for fear of being caught smoking.

    Hope no one digs my old patio up. I had a monkey years ago and it died. I buried it under the patio so if someone digs it up they will shit themselves.
