Tripped over the top inch and a half of this fence post this morning on my way to the burn barrel, about 3 years ago in the spring I was pushing gravel from snow plowing out of the yard about 8 feet to the right of this one and smacked another one, about 20 years ago I thought I hit a piece of pipe with the mower, dug out a shotgun barrel. I lived here 26 years, wonder what else the frost is going to bring up.

That's something I've always wondered about rocks. I can have a clean garden, free of rocks, then the next year here are bucket fulls of rocks again..
How does this happen? Do they just keep coming to the top?
Anyone have a good answer?

Thanks,
Dick
 
That teaches you to stay on the driveway :twisted:

Reminds me of a neighbor that used to have a beer can over a pin in the ground between two sliding doors in his garage. One day me and a couple friends where having a beer there when helping the neighbor fix his truck.
One of these friends got the urge to kick that can across the yard..... :)
 

Ground freezes, squeezes rocks up, when ground thaws, rocks stay at or nearer the surface for your plow to hit.

Actually, all that brownish colored stuff is little, tiny rock seeds. Contrary to popular belief, them seeds start to get bigger as time goes. The frost freezes them together, and after a sufficient period of years, they pop to the surface like a bubble in water. That's why they keep coming year after year......
 
how far away did you toss last years rocks? Rocks have an annual migration back to their breeding grounds ya know.
