I was just doing some work in the garden and went to jab my fork in the ground and hit something solid.

Removed the sod and found this-

[URL= http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a333/boff1979/random/IMG_20170422_172513148.jp g" target="_blank">http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a333/boff1979/random/IMG_20170422_172513148.jp g"/> [/IMG][/URL]

It's next to my compost bin, about 3m away from the septic tank.

You can see a few white cobbles set in but I'm not sure what letters to spell out.

So is it something to do with the tank or a weird headstone? Hidden treasure? Enlightened me STW!

If it's a pets grave it's pretty elaborate.

It's just your common, run of the mill portal to another dimension. Sacrifice a chicken in the name of the old ones and you'll have nothing to fear. Might be best to buy a pet goat too, just to be safe like. We all know how the old ones fear goats.

Nin is what it looks like, which is old english young girls name derivative of Nancy. H can be an abbreviation of "Here Lies"

It'd make me nervous

It's near a sewer system and there's a new It film out this year, that's not a coincidence 😉

Is there another set of white stones to the bottom left of the image? If so I agree with the above that it might be upside down.

Grab some garlic and a silver stake just incase.

I rotated it too, but my brain read "MINE" H, so unexploded munitions or a capped shaft?

No house number.

Looking on old OS maps there was a pit over to road 100+ years ago. I think my house has something to do with the pit.

There's a lot of mining history around here, the slab looks too small though.

I wondered if it was an old fire hydrant sign but haven't found similar examples yet...

Have we finally found Hora?....

Or maybe under that runish slab lies the bike that will finally fit Renton...

Water mains is to the front of the house. We have a well in a different part of the garden.

It's strange as it's exactly next to the compost bin, in the veggie plot.

The more I look at it- NINE H stands out when flipped.

Otherwise 3NW looking at the photo as is.

It's a geochache, inside will be three paperclips, a biro that has bled out, a damp note pad, two keyrings and a 35mm film case containing a rusty pet tag.

All lay next to the skeletal remains of an alpaca.

I was disappointed when I found a Trapdoor in my new place. It had a rat skeleton and a 1970s football card in it.

Fire hydrant 9 metres away by any chance?

Or the end of a longer path(it looks like it continue to the right/below) with the letters of the alphabet with either assembly points or learning thing for a child.

The wife is not keen on opening the gates to hell. But I may sneak a little dig around it at some point in the future.

There is a proper hydrant sign to the front of the property, in line with "The Slab™". A lot further than 9 meters away.

Its strange that Richard the Third was buried exactly in a carpark. 🙂

What happened with the PH thread was the OP was a typical PHer (devoted capitalist) and as soon as he saw the following the story had stopped posting and starting calling Media companies to sell the ending - there was talk it was going to be part of a TV show at some point, but it's been a couple of years now I think.
