Why These Discoveries Stick With Us
Finding something buried triggers something deeper than curiosity.
It reminds us that:
Our land has a history
Others lived, worked, and built here before us
Not everything beneath our feet is known
And that can be unsettling—or fascinating.
Final Thoughts: Mystery Doesn’t Mean Danger
If you found a metal chain while digging near your mailbox, take a breath.
The odds are overwhelmingly in favor of a practical, boring, historical explanation—not a threat, not a warning, and not something aimed at you.
Sometimes the ground simply holds onto the past.
And occasionally, while doing something ordinary, you uncover a small reminder that your home is part of a much longer story.
