Huge chunk of metal in my backyard

[John_Deere]

Hey all,

The track season just ended for me, so I managed to get into my backyard after school today for a quick hunt. Found a dime, which got me excited, and then did a comb of the middle of my yard, which I've never done before. Got a really deep signal, so I dug about 6 inches down and got nothing. At this point I was a little frustrated, because I've gotten false signals in my yard before. But for some reason I decided to dig a little deeper, and then I pulled this out of the ground.






I have no idea what it is, but I thought it was pretty cool I found something like this in my little suburban backyard.

Here's some more shots of it:







The hole was actually kind of big, hope the grass grows back or my folks will kill me (don't worry, I have permission to dig in the backyard).






And, as always, my little proof of finding:





So, yeah. I know it wasn't insanely interesting, but this is my first big find since I pulled that take outta my front yard. Thanks for lookin', and Happy Hunting!

If a kid doesn't have permission to dig in their own backyard, then we're in deep doo doo!

I suspect a farm implement. I actually found one similar to that a long time ago. I still don't know for sure.

HH!

It looks like part of an old plow shear to me.

CRUSADER: Man, you don't know how long it took for me to find that. Still one of my favorite accessories.

WHADIFIND: I think it is, my neighborhood was a big farm up until the 70's. I think it's just some scrap from way back when.

s.c shooter: I don't know, It's definitely thick enough to be a plow, but I'm not 100% sure.

Either a plow shear or we had some HUGE vikings who had spearheads THAT big!!! LOL

I got it at BrickFair over the summer, its one of the biggest Lego conventions in the States. Some guy was selling a bunch for $1 each, so I splurged and picked one up. And thanks

When I pulled it out, I immediately thought of a giant spear. I see where you're coming from

That's what she said, sorry couldn't help myself. Damn you Michael Scott! On a serious note: looks like a plow point

Looks like a piece of broken cast iron sewer pipe. Any holes or bumps on it?

Trust me, I was waiting for someone to catch this, my teenage brain caught it immediately after I posted.

Nah, not that I can see. Nor are there any other pieces anywhere else in the yard. When I first saw it in the ground I thought it was a pipe.

I would put in in an electrolysis tank and see what that reveals...

I'm probably gonna soak it tomorrow when I get home from school. Can't wait too see what this looks like when it's cleaned up!

I've found some weird chunks of metal in my backyard as well. I don't know how or when they got there but it is always interesting to dig them up.

I hope you find out what that is!
