Especially since Ostroms still uses horse and cow manure only and composts onsite (which, like the artillary noise, I'm more or less used to).
Oh, well: one thing archaeology has taught me is that things get dropped, picked up in shoes or hooves, dropped again, washed in water, found in a stream, put in pockets, and otherwise moved around, and one small item is never absolutely significant.
(And I am 14 feet of edge attached to frame closer to being done on the Wyandotte run, and added an 1 1/4 woodscrew and one fender washer to the family midden; not likely to be able to find them with the magnetic broom as they were dropped in a pile that included two very old truck wheels and the siphon from an old irrigation machine).
So maybe the fake tooth was tossed in the sewer somehow, and someone used the dredgings for fertilizing his fields, and a cow ate it (like they pick up metal) and this tooth is acrylic and will not stick to the magnet, but is poo'd out & made into steer manure compost & then goes to Ostrum's and they grow shrooms in it..Even still, a mushroom would not grow a tooth in it, it would grow around the tooth.
Someone planted that tooth there.
I dunno- we have mushrooms from blown spores/decades of fertilizing with Mushroom Corner spent compost (Agaricus praetens, last time I checked the naming conventions) and they pick up all sorts of weird stuff- nails, mostly, but also bits of cut pig bone from the old farm dump, and once a sparkplug.
