NORTON SHORES (WWJ) -- A Michigan man was working on some home renovations at his Muskegon County residence, and made a rather odd-ball discovery.
When 33-year-old David Olson of Norton Shores went to demolish his back stairs, he uncovered about 160 bowling balls.
Olson says that he discovered one bowling ball that had been buried in the sand behind cinder blocks earlier this month, and continued to find more over the next several days.
He also believes that there are even more hidden around the property.
The maker of the balls, Brunswick Bowling Products, previously had a plant in the Muskegon-area, and told Olson that they were made in the 1950s.
Olson says that many are unfinished, with some missing finger holes and others unpolished.
Still, some of the balls are in good shape, and are engraved with the Brusnwick logo and labeled “Black Beauty” or “Starline.”
Olson donated several of the bowling balls and says he plans to use the rest for landscaping or to make sculptures.
