<p>[QUOTE="Voulgaroktonou, post: 8395303, member: 84047"]Around 50 years ago, one of my best friends decided to tone some of his Roman bronzes by burying them in his back yard. He left them for a few years, but when he decided sufficient time had passed and attempted to dig them up, he forgot where he had buried them. It took him around 10 years to find them! Whenever I think of this with a smile, it reminds me of Samuel Pepys burying his gold in his vegetable garden in Oct. 1667 against a possible Dutch invasion. Once the danger had passed, he went to dig it up, but also had trouble in finding the spot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
