Compost of the Dolls

 Today a new volunteer found this doll arm while we were sifting.  It turned out to be a good tool for scooping up worms and putting them back in the compost bin.

How did it end up in the compost?
The most plausible theory is that it was in a bag of leaves we received months ago. We use the leaves for our 'browns' or carbons. We receive many of our leaves from a nearby park and often find a wide range of items. So it's possible the doll arm was separated from the doll somehow and ended up in a bag of leaves. But who knows? What's clear is this doll arm is not going to break down or decompose for a very long time. It's already been in our compost bin for approximately three months and looks to be in perfect shape (for a doll arm.)

Help us identify these other items we came across today while sifting.
