What have you dug up?

I've heard quite a few stories of some amazing finds just by digging, this thread is to share any stories (personal, second hand etc) and the stuff that was found.

I'll start:

I went into my back woods once and just randomly decided to dig, I found a bunch of rocks that looked like arrowheads (all of them had sharp points at the ends and were triangular in shape).

I once found a plastic army man in the sand at a beach

That's about it, I have a metal detector at home, may try to figure out how to use it this summer and do some hunting.

I assume you mean literally dug up from the earth right? Cuase Ive dug some stuff up at surplus shops before .

I always wanted to go digging for stuff either by me in gettysburg Pa or over seas in germany would love to see what there is to find maybe one day I will get around to it

I once dug up a chunk of melted purple glass.

Old tin soldiers from my yard in Iowa. Land used to have a ditch that was used for dumping in the early 1900s. Found all sorts of cool (but broken) knick knacks. And a lot of broken glass (proof by scars on the hands).

Arrowheads once I got older and stationed in Kansas.

ive once dug up a hot wheels car if that counts...

Years ago while on vacation in Italy , i went camping with my cousins and while digging a fire pit we found spent US .30-06 shells and a few other items , i brought this little guy home with me and has been in my collection since then
