It all started with permission to check the garden...

Last week, my wife told me I was allowed to search the garden section of the yard..such a long story.....

I found an odd key about 6 inches down. Another two inches below that. Solid. So I opened up my plug a little and THOUGHT I had uncovered a wooden box. My wife quickly assessed that this wooden box is a concrete slab.

I continued to open up the hole to a coffin sized concrete slab. A small section broke off and as soon as my pinpointer went in the hole I got a hit. Pulled a bunch of soil out and started finding odd items. The first of many...a small caliber pistol ..a bracelet with initials GRH on it and human bones. It was getting dark so I called local police the next day. 15 mins later. Local police along with detectives, state police and detectives and medical examiners office here....they are allowing me to hunt while figuring out if this was a homicide or a makeshift grave. Back out there tomorrow!!!

So out of the 6 bone fragments we found ,THAT cut bone , they said , was not human.
 
Yikes!!!!! so what about the other 5 fragments? Hopefully someone just went a little crazy when they buried a dog.
 
If that was my house there would have been a for sale sign up before the grave was filled in.
 
Creepy! How long have you lived there? Anyway to contact the previous owner? I'm pretty sure I'd be done digging once I found the gun, ring and bones in the same hole. I wouldn't care if they were human or animal.

Keep us informed.

I think its an old septic system. Someone had to dig down to find the lid and then it took a few days to go back and fill it in and household members threw junk in the hole.
 
This is painfully slow. They are allowing me to use my detector while searching for bone fragments. The concrete slab is almost fully exposed and should be lifted
the day after next.

They allowed me to keep the pistol. Which is super weird.

Keep us posted!

Do you know how old your house/property is or it's owner history?

Our house was built in 1890. Old mill worker section of town, used as a Brothel (confirmed by a number of items found including a red glass railroad lantern that would hang outside as an invite. Lots of history here.
