We discovered that a railroad ran through the land where we currently live. When we realized this, we started digging (well, the kids did) and what we found was just incredibly neat. So far we’ve uncovered parts of the actual track from the railroad and we’ve dug up railroad spikes and ties. We’re not done digging and we’re always hopeful that we’ll find something else new and interesting.

Have you ever found anything interesting while digging around on your land? What did you find?

On the internet there is an article 25 Unusual Things You Won’t Believe Were Found In A Backyard.  These are really very incredible.

And here’s an article from the Fluvanna review in 2011 about the railroad that used to run through our front yard!
