How Big was the Door?

One of the things I love about this place we call homeis that I frequently find'buried treasure' in the gardens.


Like this old, broken, key.It is huge,very heavy,and weighs almost a pound.It was buried deep in the soil.
In another part of the gardenI found this...

...a huge metal door handle.It is approx 9 x 6 inchesand weighs about two pounds.
They must have been used

for some quite impressive doors.

My very first metal findwas the cog wheel at theback of this photograph.It is still my favourite piece.I haven't a clue what it weighs,but it is heavy!

These wonderful pieces of more modern metalworkwere also found in the garden.They are massive and currently live inthe small rockery area.
I am always up for a digging project -because there is, potentially,the chanceoffinding more buried treasure.



Harry has told me he would like my collection

of scrap metal when I die.
