How Big was the Door?

One of the things I love about this place we call home

is 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 garden

I found this...

...a huge metal door handle.

It is approx 9 x 6 inches

and weighs about two pounds.

They must have been used
for some quite impressive doors.

My very first metal find

was the cog wheel at the

back 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 metalwork

were also found in the garden.

They are massive and currently live in

the small rockery area.

I am always up for a digging project -

because there is, potentially, 

the chance

of 

finding more buried treasure.

Harry has told me he would like my collection
of scrap metal when I die.
