Update: My attempt at a backyard dig in Tucson last week

I thought I found a pottery shard, but it was just a piece of a broken flower pot from 2005. My dog looked more interested than I was. Anyone else have a 'discovery' that turned out to be modern junk?

Ever find a weird rock that's just concrete?

My neighbor in Phoenix found what looked like a perfect arrowhead in his yard. He was so proud, showed it to everyone. I mean, it turned out to be a piece of chipped slate from a landscaping bag. The real kicker was finding the exact same shape in my own mulch a month later. Sometimes modern stuff just mimics the old things way too well.

Found a weird metal thing in my garden last year that I swore was an old tool. Got all excited, cleaned it up, turns out it was just a broken piece of a lawn chair hinge. The disappointment was real.
