Identify a random tub of grit for me 18:10 - May 19 with 1937 viewssparks

Just a small possibility this could become a nice big thread with all sorts of similar queries and contributions. Probably not- but you never know.

When we moved into our current house, various bits and pieces were left behind (as is often the case). In the garage was a big black tub of sandy grit.

Looks too sandy to be horticultural. Wouldnt expect building materials to be in a tub rather than a bag.

The prior owner was a builder by trade (and built the house). Also like gardening and kept birds at one point.

Any knowledgeable guesses?

Looks like two images that someone hasn't been able to embed properly to me. Could be wrong though

Yeah that’s grit all right. Just a tub of that classic grit.

Looks partly cemented together, so possibly calcareous. Grit mixed with dry cement or maybe a limestone grit?

God knows.

de-icing grit/salt.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Looks to me like the sweepings after you've got all the big bits of rubble off the floor having knocked some walls down (i.e. crumbs of mortar, cement, plaster, etc.).

Its definitely intentional grit which came in a tub. There is another bucket full of the stuff too! You can sieve it and be left with just pure solid grit.

Did it say anything on the tub?

Could be grit for textured render/pebbledash.
