While digging near the composters, Debra unearthed this little car. We suspect it belonged to one of the children of our house's many previous owners.
After examining the chassis and consulting the internet, this appears to be Matchbox No. 64, the MG 1100, which dates to 1966.
Overall, discounting the impacted dirt thing, it doesn't appear to be in too bad shape. If it was interred in the late 1960's, that means it could have been in the ground for 55 or so years.
Well, some people have barn finds, we have compost finds :-) I see a restoration project on the horizon.
