<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 240555, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> At my old house I had a slope in the back which I made into a rock garden. I had many pieces of broken Chinese porcelain and I added other broken pieces and mingled them into the rock garden it looked wonderful to my eye. the couple that bought my house did not like gardening so they covered everything with sand and grass. After two years the rain washed out the sand and the shards were exposed.</p><p>People walking by saw all the broken china and thought it was an old dump. They asked the new owners if they could carefully dig at the dump!!!! The new owners said NO. The people asked the other neighbors who lived there last. The neighbors put them in touch with me. I was so tickled I told the "diggers" that I had gotten a lot of unbroken pieces digging there at the dump but only went down about 6". I wonder if they ever snuck in when the owners were away to see what they could uncover.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
