Found a 2,000 year old clay pot in my backyard last Tuesday
I was digging a hole for a new fence post near my house in rural Ohio and my shovel hit something hard, pulled out this little broken clay pot covered in dirt. Turns out it might be a Hopewell culture artifact from around 200 BC, which is way cooler than the rusty nails I usually find. Has anyone else ever stumbled on something ancient by accident, and how did you figure out what it was?

Wait, @the_susan, isn't it just an old junk post though?
