Some years ago I remember there being a toy elephant between sumps 1 & 2 in Swildons & a teddy bear in the Bear Pit in Rod's Pot, another time there was a glow in the dark model skull left in Aveline's - what other random stuff have you seen underground?

Hmm a glow in the Dark skelton in BPOTW, may have photo somewhere on the clubs flicker account.

A peice of a ceramic cup in Swinstoe.

Of course not forgetting my wellies and gloves everywhere. There is a new one to find anyone fancy a treasure hunt lol.

A pile of a quarryman's discarded mussel shells deep in a medieval stone quarry in Merstham. Obviously from a time before the sandwich or pastie was invented.

A Christmas tree complete with lights in Swildons, and an inflatable bat hanging from the roof in Slaughter Stream Cave are the two things that come to mind at the moment.

Woman in stockings, suspenders and (probably) basque in Sidcot. Plus goose pimples, I seem to remember.

A canoe on the water before Sump 2 Swildons (we had taken it in & and took it out).
Plastic bat in Hunter's Lodge Sink Inn.
A watch in Singing River Mine.

Oh and..
"A Christmas tree complete with lights in Swildons," circa 1981 ? that was me if you connected a NiFe lamp to the lights they worked :)

Plastic bat in Swildons, uneaten mars bar at the bottom of the ladder pitch on the side(wanted to eat it but left it for someone more deserving)

Also gives me an excuse to post a photo of this creepy toy found in Denny's hole at the weekend:

There used to be a plastic rat on a ledge at the bottom of the final pitch in Slaughter Entrance as well. Don't know if it's still there though.

T'was opposite Old Ash, in Lords And Ladies mine where Slim Jim took a fancy to the deflated woman reclining in the pool, hence the new name of Lords And Latex mine.

Sorry Slim, secret's out now.
And what do you mean by "unfortunately" Paul?
