After awhile, we noticed that in the backyard, their were PVC pipes just sticking out of the ground. Whoever installed the sprinkler system, did a horrible job.
So. . . here we are now.
Digging up the old sprinkler system, hoping we can somehow use some of it and install a working sprinkler system.
I've just begun digging yesterday and have already found, what Mia calls, "treasures". We know all about these "treasures" because while prepping our garden we found many of them. Treasures like glasses, plastic bags, broken glass. . .
Pretty much what you would call, garbage.
Now, this is a time where my Dad's saying, "One man's junk is another man's treasure" doesn't apply. Whoever's junk we have been finding, is not a treasure, but simply, garbage!
Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.
Is our house built on what used to be the Concord Landfill? That is what it seems.
As I am excavating the pipes, I have found these so far:
I haven't saved everything that I have found, but decided to start, just for pure entertainment.
Wouldn't it be great to find a real buried treasure, say gold or something in that category? I only hope that I am not going to stumble across a dead carcass of any kind!

Something dead would be pretty gross. I found plastic utensils, beer bottle caps, and tons of other random stuff when we did our yard. It'll be fun for Mia to find stuff--then direct her to the garbage can. :)
Ohh! I have a metal detector you could use (if you lived closer). It's actually stock piled in my "gift" closet. My kids want it bad and if we were digging up treasures I'd definitely get it out!
