What on earth have I found buried in our garden?!

Recently moved house and due to lockdown and decent weather have finally decided to tackle the garden.

I was digging up the very far corner of the garden and found whatever this is buried about 2 inches under the soil and covered in leaf litter, my DP thinks it is part of an old radio but I think part of an old computer as I spy a USB port, and I cant fathom why somebody would bury an old radio. Can anybody shed light on what this is?

Iv got a horrible feeling about it Confused

It's an old printed circuit board. Nothing scary about it.

VenusOfWillendorf · 07/04/2020 18:55

@LadyMonicaBaddingham Thanks for that! I was having a shit day and now cant stop laughing! Thats bizzare ... is there more to the story? How deep was it buried that they didnt find it till renovating?!

OP - looks like a circuit board.

Does any old random object you dig up spook you? I’d be just thinking by the previous owner had managed to be so stupid as to not just bin it. Just be prepared for the odd dog skellington is all I can say. Burying your pet in the garden was certainly common when I was young. Cats and rabbits too of course. Hamsters probably decay away so you’re safe from little spooky bones.

My friend dug up a motorbike in his

Why the hell would you have a bad feeling about it 😂

We need the ice cream van story.

Ice cream van! AmazingShock

My uncles buried 3 classic motorbikes in my Nans garden in the 60s.

StCharlotte · 07/04/2020 19:04

@LadyMonicaBaddingham

At what point did they realise it was an entire ice cream van? Did they ever find out who buried it? And why? Was there a Mr Whippy machine still in it? Did they renovate it? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

10 billions quids worth of bitcoins are stored on there ....I'm in no doubt:o

Oldraver · 07/04/2020 19:06

BIL lived in a house that had an old concrete patio that was quite a bit higher than the garden . Whe he dug it out for a conservatory he found two old boilers buried

Ask them! Now!

Am I the only one who thought that LadyMonica was joking?

Windyatthebeach · 07/04/2020 19:06

Jumanji!!
Step away op!!

My neighbours (quite a few houses down from me, but frankly not far enough!) have, this afternoon, unearthed an unexploded WW2 bomb. You wouldn't believe the tizz this is currently causing. I'd rather have an old circuit board any day.

speakout · 07/04/2020 19:07

It's just trash- an old motherboard.
Very unexciting.

TitianaTitsling · 07/04/2020 19:07

Tell us about the ice creamvan!!

It’s got a micro UBS charging point. My money is on some kind of game console motherboard.

WhatDoIDooDIoDtahW · 07/04/2020 19:09

USB* sorry I am drunk.

Probably just something that didn’t burn on a bonfire.

BreconBeBuggered · 07/04/2020 19:11

I was hoping for a haunted badge at the very least.
Take it inside and see if it becomes a conduit for voices from beyond the grave, OP.

MrsJoshNavidi · 07/04/2020 19:11

Sorry OP. Your news has been completely overwhelmed by the ice cream van and the motorbikes.

WILL THOSE POSTERS PLEASE COME BACK AND TELL US MORE!
(Yes, I'm shouting!)

Why have you got a horrible feeling? Do you think there's a bunch of cybermen under the veg plot?
