How many of you found garbage buried around your place from past owners?

Every now and then something recognizable like a wagon wheel rim or brass sleigh bells

The bells would be interesting. Are you able to clean them up?

I polished them with Brasso but they are some weird alloy that never really got shiny.

Sawzall is your buddy. Anything that won't fit in the trash bin gets halved with the sawzall and halved again until it fits in a trash bag, and in the bin it goes.

Sounds like this guy did that with his wife !

There have been a couple of those up here. In one case the guy cut up his girlfriend's remains and buried them in a dirt pile on the side of the road. I drive past that spot regularly.
In another case the guy cut his GF up, burned her body in his wood boiler than dumped the ashes off a bridge.
We manage the land that bridge is on, everytime I drive across it I think of her.

Not that it's right but I can see having a fit of passion. OTOH you have to be a pretty sick ******* to cut up the bosy of a woman who you once loved and made love to.

I do, but the previous owners were my father, my grandfather and my great grandfather. So I can't really complain.

I dig for a living and there is trash buried almost everywhere.

We frequently do "shallow removal" on signal pole foundations. Meaning, 5 ft diameter, concrete shaft, often going down 18+ feet; and we chip it down 48" and cover it up. I dont really "like" it, because my worry has always been, your doing an HDD through the area, and there is no way to know there is 18 cubic yards of reinforced concrete right there... But, it's not my call, and its a heck of a lot cheaper than removing the entire thing.

Anyone see the ship found under a road intersection in down town St Augustine? I wasn't part of that, but I have worked within maybe 500 ft of that intersection. "Ship" might be a generous way of saying it, its was like a 24 ft wooden boat
