What's in your backyard?

I envy people who turn up antiquities in their yards.
Take for example the farmer in Turkey who found a massive mosaic from the Roman Empire while plowing a field! (See above picture and click for more.)
Remember the stonemason who found a Viking hoard in his backyard?

I'm convinced there's treasure in my backyard. I just know it.
Okay, there probably isn't. But wouldn't it be fun to dig up the backyard and find out?
I mean, look what this guy found!

What about you? Do you wonder what might be in your backyard?
