Angry Giant nails in the back yard and more junk!!!

Decided to revisit the back yard today. The ditch behind my house used to be the old road a looooooooong time ago. My husband found the stuff in the first pic (diamond is fake but I think the band may be silver). He found it when he was back there raking or something. So I figure there must be more stuff. I get a million signals. It will take me 20 years to dig them all. But the next pic is what I found today.
Oh yeah, I got all excited when I saw the pennies, but they are a 1996 & a 2006

Yes it is some type of old digging tool. I guess I need to pay attention and only work certain areas until I'm finished and then move to the next. I didn't really have a plan. But I do now! Thanks! Should make it seem less tedious. My yard is FULL of junk.

Keep at it Donna. The good stuff has got to be there. If you get a chance maybe check out a local school or playground. Also take your hubby with you for luck....Happy Hunting...Buster....

Nice finds.

Still 3" of snow and ice on the ground here. I can't wait to hit my yard, I know there is one set of my keys out there from 5 years ago.

Looking forward to what else you dig up.
