Most of this stuff is junk, but its all of the slightly interesting stuff I've dug or found in an old shed that was not a bottle. There's an old plaque to an early 1920's radiola radio, an extremely cheap plastic tooth brush with the comb to match, a 1950's christmas tree light, a scary as hell minnie mouse disposible tooth pick holder, and a Ford Model T hub cap. The green thing is, what I belive, is a novelty toilet seat. Its embossed with a man sitting down on something with the words "The Thinker" under it. I found the band-aids on the floor of an old shed. When I picked it up, I heard some items inside of it. My first impression was "Coins!" (I was big into coin collecting before I got into bottles), but when I poured out the contents, there were six wooden red dice.

Here's my weirdest find. A bisque egg with a child coming through the shell. I have found some info that seems to indicate these were given as good luck gifts to expectant mothers. If I remember correctly, it's an old eastern european tradition, from midwives.

That's wild, I think some of the Ohio guys dug a couple of those. In ABGC there was an article from Peter Samuelson where he dug one of those but it was a 1 oz. bottle with a 1/2 neck.

Here's a drop forged paper weight anvil I dug. Pretty sure it was made in the ironworks of my hometown.
