What surprised me was the generally good condition of the objects they found, especially the pump filter, oil can and shovel.
The shovel was standard issue for decades and was confusingly known as the HMS Bulldog shovel. It had nothing to do with the ship of the same name, it was just a trademark.
We've got one in the garage. It's date stamped 1938 and is looking a little care worn but still good enough for jobs in the garden.
FWIW...
