Re: Brace Yourself.... Here’s Another ‘What On Earth Is This?’
Could exchange some items we have dug up over time ..one we recognized straight away, still hanging on to it..along with a lot of rusty all sorts looking like farmy stuff...it was a farm, the clues I guess..easy to i.d. even has a code that tells you its from the 80's
not my prize find but was thrilling to think coke was in this at one time and left for me to find and treasure...
lots of gate parts..just one here as an example...the bone is a concern though...right in the photo..could do a dna....
and what have we here,something in common with some people I know...
not sure sharing is helping you Artangel......thoughts are with you anyway..
