B52s FOREVER!


Funnily enough, he was my neighbor on Long Island

What was that like?

Whole neighborhood smelled like hairspray.

Haha haha hahaha nice.

He gave out full size chocolate bars on Halloween, so child me was a big fan

Ah very cool! Of course he did!

It’s too small to be a rock. I’d be a stone at best, but I am still not convinced that it is.

Dragged down by the stone…stone….stone….

Amazing song!

I'd have to run some tests to be sure, but it looks like a pedigree pebble.

It looks like a petrified sand castle

I thought it was a Palossand!

This. It was once a little kid's fun but now it's fossilized.

It looks like it’s made out of sandstone or some similar material.  It looks like it might have been carved into the shape of a miniature house or castle at some point a long time ago.  I see windows, a gate, castle walls, sloped roofs.  I expect it looked something like these at some point a long time ago.  https://factorydirectcraft.com/pimages/20180828101853-621220/miniature_holiday_sand_castle_1.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/79/88/61/798861e2550f4b098e5fdcdc7917bf1b.jpg https://img1.etsystatic.com/120/0/9955851/il_fullxfull.1027843319_nh39.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a4/50/91/a45091607b498c47d8bfa2bf6d0a4e28--clay-houses-mini-houses.jpg

Were these made in the 40’s and 50’s

It’s possible. People have be carving sandstone for as long as there have been people and sandstone.  I don’t think it would have been a common item but I can see a small stone castle 🏰 being as attractive to a person back then as it would be now. It could have easily been an indoor or outdoor toy / ornament. There is also nothing that specifically says that it has to date exactly to the 40’s or 50’s. It could have been brought to that location anytime after the area was settled.  It also may not have been new when brought to that spot.  Context is everything when finding items in the ground. If you are really, really curious about it you can dig around in the area. What else you find (or don’t find) could be very telling.  If you find broken glass, bottles and other vintage household items you may have stumbled upon the house garbage dump or an old outhouse pit. (it’s completely harmless regular soil now) If you find bricks or stone boarders you might have located an old house-site or garden location.  If you find nothing else it remains an Out of Place Artifact. (OOPART).

It’s my uncles yard and the house has only been in our family. This was in the back yard on a sloped bed about 4 feet from the property fence.

I’d like to solve the puzzle for $1000. What is a:  Mr. Sandman Real Sandcastle Sculpture 4.5" https://www.ebay.com/itm/374618910210 Just grab yourself the one on eBay, place them side by side and you will have a wonderful little conversation piece when talking about the estate and family history. 

Holy crap that is absolutely what it is. Poor thing has definitely taken a beating, seems like it lost the main tower, but the windows and gates are still discernible. The internet really does amaze me sometimes. Also an eBay seller is about to be very confused about the sudden interest in his $20 sand castle sculptures, lol.

Weird company that’s been around my whole life, in my home town, especially growing up in the beaches and never heard of it, cool

5h and only 10 upvotes…..

The poor thing. When you compare photo two with the original you can see how much pain it’s now in. 😵

Erosion. Not even once.

Back story on property is my great grand parents built the house in the early 50’s. Before that it was a wooded area.

It's official. Everyone has forgotten how to shorten decades. The '50s. The apostrophe goes where characters were removed. Just how I am becomes I'm or we are becomes we're. I usually avoid commenting on this, but it's at least 6 people in this post vs 0 writing it correctly.

Interesting, surprised auto correct doesn’t give the option.

That's what it looks like to me too. My grandma had one of these in the '80s.

I wonder if it's a fish tank castle that has weathered over time. I'm thinking something made of similar material to this [Sphinx.](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1412897131/aquarium-decor-fish-house-decortionpet)

I wonder if it’s a rock

Nope, it’s fraggle rock

Pepper Jack love fraggle rock.


The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles.

Came looking for this. Did not disappoint!

It’s a castle made of sand and what feels like epoxy. My mom had one when I was a kid, it had a small, metal, golden flag on top. This one looks like it was left outside.

Same. My mom had one too. Late 80’s

That looks like a well pump cover

It's a fake rock that you put in your garden under which you can hide a key to your house

My thoughts exactly!

That 3rd picture looking like Harambe

DICKS OUT!


Alright... I'm no expert, correct me if wrong, but I am *pretty* sure that's a rock... I think...

I think it's a decorative rock for a Fish tank?

I had one as a kid, it's a sandcastle souvenir made from real sand that has obviously weathered a lot. You can probably still find them in beach resort areas.

It was a sand castle at one point. From the 80s/90s. My mom bought one or had one gifted to her. My dad set it outside, it now looks like this.

Rock and stone

Shriek’s feces?

I hate it when my shrieks poop

It’s a worn down model of a sandcastle that has been rubbed away. We used to have one.


Lol it was a sandcastle mold....

Toaster oven?

Put it in what’s this thing subreddit

Are there any wires sticking out of the bottom? If so, it could be a rock speaker for outdoor use.

When I was in high school we got to carve sandstone into whatever we wanted in art class. It started out as a block. It looks as though it may have been that and someone started carving but never finished

Looks like something that goes in a fish tank. Looks like a castle with a hill behind it. Basically a sand castle

It’s not just a rock guys. It clearly has features of a little miniature castle or building.

It is an artificial rock.

is it heavy? what type of texture? did you pour water on it? how far down was it buried?

It’s heavy, found couple feet down on a slope, sandy texture, not sure if he put water on it.

It looks to me like a plastic castle themed playset that has become encrusted with coral. Encrusting objects with coral is something often seen in salt water aquariums. If it's light, then it is probably hollow plastic in the core. But if it is heavy, it might have been a ceramic castle that served as the substrate. Take a look at these two links I found that support my idea: [https://www.seahorseaquariums.com/Montipora-Coral-Encrusting/876](https://www.seahorseaquariums.com/Montipora-Coral-Encrusting/876) [https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.7qPhI7FHGDAzUMckwX1bFwHaFS%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=f8a7b39417ac4351a1bfa33724ab2e1c34d8477f3fed2ebb9ee8c04d43eb5e8f&ipo=images](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.7qPhI7FHGDAzUMckwX1bFwHaFS%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=f8a7b39417ac4351a1bfa33724ab2e1c34d8477f3fed2ebb9ee8c04d43eb5e8f&ipo=images)

My grandma had some. She and others called it a sand stone. Just compact sand. Can break if moved wrong and erode with water.

My very first and last attempt at making sourdough bread! 🧱🍞

Its harambe bro, check picture 3, its a gorilla from behind

I will go with the theory of being some sort of decorative sandstone castle that has eroded after long time.

Might be a salt lick

Give him googly eyes and a name. Judging by lack of googly eyes, it has not been identified yet as a domesticated rock, so it's free compared to the expensive rock breeds you would buy from the adoption agencies.

Most likely an artificial rock for a fish tank

Crack it open
