DAY: things found in the old compost heap

we inherited a "compost heap" with our house, and today i ventured out to see if there was anything naughty in it (besides the plastic container and plastic bags on top). indeed, i have already found the following after combing half of the pile:

1. plastic wrappers
2. aluminum foil
3. pulled apart wire hangers
4. flashlight
5. bag of machine screws
6. bag of ... manure maybe? at this point whatever it used to be is now effectively dirt. ken thinks maybe it is a bag for plant roots or something... i dunno.
7. various twigs and logs
8. charcoal
9. toy car
10. pvc pipe
11. 2 (so far) large toy spiders
12. large rocks and bricks
13. nails
14. large metal stake
15. dice
16. cowboy hat (doll-sized)
17. some sort of black nylon cloth
18. pieces of a broken plastic planter

there's probably more, but i'm too beat to remember the rest. suffice to say it seems our compost heap has had many lives, one of them being a children's sandbox.
