Yard Offerings From Below





These are fairly early finds at 1650 Kildare, from a few years ago when I still enjoyed hanging out in my yard. I spent several years hand digging my garden. I've had people tell me I'm full of shit for thinking these are anything other than rocks...

I've thrown back the iffy ones and kept these two, because they are obviously human-made tools. It doesn't show, but the larger one has a very refined axe-end to it, with a very bulky front area. It appears the lower part of the axe-end broke and they tossed it aside. I would not have expected these to be made this way, refining an area before shaping the entire thing.
The cat tail in the last photo is from current times.

Wow, did you ever show these to someone with expertise about these things?

No, I should though, for my own curiosity.

I think my next house may have an archeological site rather than a garden. Or maybe a garden which is integrated within a 'dig'.

Cool. I'll post a picture of one of my rock tool finds.
