It must have belonged to a girl who lived in my home during the 1960's, because that's when the original pool was built. I asked the pool builder to please not break the piece, but to preserve it as a stepping stone. I now have the stone, which I'll be placing in my garden as a tribute to the history of the place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-86379115026535066252007-04-09T16:18:00.000+01:002007-04-09T16:18:00.000+01:00Hi Jaws (My baby sister) thanks for reminding me.L...Hi Jaws (My baby sister) thanks for reminding me.Lol I was doing the garden and digging the borders when my wedding ring slipped off.

I also found a 1970's-era action figure (the head of it only), a roughly 6in by 8in chunk of flat marble with lines carved in it, 2 marbles, and a rusted crowbar (seriously!) about 18in long. Sometimes I feel like I'm not just a gardener but an urban excavator!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-4469460642749614922007-04-08T18:01:00.000+01:002007-04-08T18:01:00.000+01:00The ring you lost in my Finchley garden is going t...The ring you lost in my Finchley garden is going to be found one day too.
