[QUOTE="poncho, post: 535835, member: 1849"] During lock me and my son were walking through the locals woods were we came across a concealed clearing covered by Trees. As we were walking I spotted some old milk bottles and jam jars in the undergrowth what intrigued me was a couple of small pieces of old school lego. A couple of weeks later we got some spades and we thought we would dig around see what we could find.. from my finds it looks as though it was a late 1970s to early 80s fly tip. The following finds are indeed literally rubbish but memories to my childhood which being a collector of vintage starwars and other lines of that era spawned great enthusiasm in me for a fun few hours and precious memories for me and my son on a great afternoon out infact in we went back again. The highlights are the crisp packets which still hold vibrant colors still..captain america I have framed. A palitoy 1960s blue pants Actionman arm its hand is still rubbery and and has hardly degraded. There is a collection of broken cars, lego pieces,The candy bone shaker coffin was cool to find as was the rowntrees smarties top. The Robinson Thirst Ranger a refillable drinks bottle was the real memory kicker. As soon as I saw the purple when I was digging i knew what it was and took me right back when i was a kid I remember hanging one round my neck on hot summers day. [/QUOTE]
