Some Interesting Artifacts-1/26/07

The other day I got bored and decided to explore the Leavens Awards Company as posted in the last blog. In the last few minutes of my exploration I happened upon a small pit in the floor. I proceeded to take the rotting boards off of the pit hoping to possibly find a tunnel or something cool. Unfortunately no tunnels but a big pile of dirt and oil with different sized plates and pins made of either bronze or brass. I took somewhere close to 30 home with me and proceeded to clean them off. I was amazed with the results of a little tough scrubbing. I'm planning on returning them to where I found them as soon as the weather gets a little warmer for future explorers to admire. PunkUE out

For the sake of preserving those beautiful things you came across on, I would leave a note with them when you return them asking future UE-ers to please not take them for themselves as they were meant to be left there by whoever left them there. Maybe put them in a box or something. Though, I do think it was really cool that you cleaned them up & plan on bringing them back - that's awesome : )

One of the ones you couldn't make out is 'Kiwanis International', and the one that says 'Serving the World' is a Lions Club medallion.
