The two bricks. Circled is the area photographed via the microscope. The new brick is never washed. The old brick was washed with soap after found in the garden. The old one has some clear scratches. Those are not the one visible in the microscope. In there much smaller dents and filled up damage is visible.

Have you ever wondered how #LEGO degrades when it's buried in a sandy #Danish garden for about 30 years?
I did. Here's the answer. I took photos with a #microscope (30x magnification) of an old brick (1x2 slope) found in our garden, and a newish brick found on an elfish castle.
The photos (smartphone camera held above the oculair) answer the question of what it looks like.
More info in the ALT tags.
And back to work 🙂
