Potato in a shrub planting, no idea how it got there. Every year it would sprout up to be 3 feet tall. Every year I would dig out every molecule and remnant of that potato plant. Every spring it would be back again.

Nothing fantastic, but very old keys, middle aged coins, and plastic hair barrettes.

In the front yard, lots of wrappers (trash) turn up, and once found a set of car keys. Not ours and no one ever came by looking for them either. When I re-did one of the flower beds I found what I thought first was dark worm, then maybe a snake when I saw its eyes, and then realized it might be a newt due to the little legs. It was kinda cute.

Side yard - neighbor has tossed over a random solo women's running shoe and several empty beer cans over the years. In the backyard, behind the garage, we've found lots of broken glass and occasional shards of earthenware. We've found random lizards all around the outside of the house and once found one inside by the back door. I don't like them in my house, though.

ETA: almost forgot the passion fruit vine that came from nowhere and ended up climbing along a power line leading from the house to the garage. It ended up weighing the cable down so we had to rip it out but the flowers and fruit were just gorgeous while it lasted.

An ENORMOUS dead beetle. I've never seen a bug that big in my life. We saved it because it's so neat.

A nest of rotten duck eggs. Accidentally hit it with a shovel and wow, what a smell!
