I have taken the contest literal Im afraid. This is a trash hole circa 1907 that I found yesterday. I count these as hidden treasures or at least they are to me. The tea pot and bowl are a match set of enamel ware. in the hole there is a clay soy or Saki jug and a cure bottle. On the dirt pile from left: A swiss bottle that says "Bitter Dennler Interlaken" Cobalt is bath salts and the last one is Vancouver Soda Works Vancouver Wash. I hope you enjoy!

Perfect contest entry, Paul. I happen to collect old bottles & the cobalt blue one caught my eye immediately. The reddish brown dirt makes a great contrast. Wonderful capture & best of luck in the contest.

A great find Paul and a great presentation of your lost loot. Lovely colours in the scene and good details. I'm surprised the enamel ware withstood the dampness all those years. Good work and best of luck in the contest.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson

I go to old homeplaces in Land Between The Lakes and find stuff like this. It is like finding hidden treasures and it's a lot of fun. =) Very cool!
