I recently found a couple of old plastic soldiers -- one was missing most of his lower leg so I guess he'd hit a land mine. But I was auguring a hole for the base of a new deck when I hit the base of either the original deck (~1963) or for some outbuilding (~1900) at about 18 inches down. It still had a bit of the redwood 4X4 in it. So it was a little weird to hit it dead center but it ended up being a great foundation piece for the new deck. After I pulled the old 4X4 out of it, it left perfect 'keyhole' to tie the new base to the old.
