I have never found anything cool or memorable in my yard. A buddy of mine growing up had a creepy neighbor that used to leave Playboys in a Shaefer beer crate under a grill cover. Other people I know have found shell casings, vintage toys, fancy rocks, all that. All I ever found was dirt and the stones that would shoot out and bash me in the ankle while I was mowing the lawn as a kid.

Although I guess being bashed in the ankle with some pebbles is better than running across something that has the potential to blow up not only your house but probably the one next to it, too.

Go ahead and check out the story I have shared below about stumbling upon a cool artifact, a piece of history really. Dangerous history, but, y'know, history nonetheless.
