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?
