gold jewelry, jewelry


     The afternoon was filled with sunshine and the sounds of squirrels playing in the trees. I was digging a trench for our new waterline that will feed our garden (small farm), when I hit something that felt like a hollow rock. I began to clean off the top of the object and found that it was a very intricately carved box or small chest of some kind. I started digging feverishly, did I find treasure, or did I find some forgotten time capsule. I finally had cleared all the dirt that was surrounding this mysterious box, and when I freed it from its shallow grave, I was stunned. It was beautiful, and very heavy.


  I stared at the mysterious box, contemplating my next move, something came over me. I grabbed a hammer and proceeded to beat the top off of the box. The wood gave away easily revealing the contents inside. Gold jewelry, lots of gold jewelry. There were a few ladies watches and a beautiful silver necklace with a gem stone that I had never seen before


  Turns out I was not rich. The box contained the loot from a house burglary that took place over thirty years ago. The family wanted their heirlooms back, and I was alright with that. But what really got me is they didn't even offer me a reward, go figure.
