Found this in my front yard. My house is not that old (1986). However, from research I have done all my neighborhood used to be farmland. I also live on a steep hill. I first thought this was an old septic tank (we use sewer) but it isn't cylindrical it has a straight edge on one side. Also, it is concrete with an iron handle. I have looked for any markings on the surface and there is none. Also, about 10 yards or so I found with my detector a chain collar that has the Number 5 which I am assuming is for a farm animal. It is not near our water line which is on the opposite side of the home. Not sure what it is any information will help. Thank You

My guess is either a septic tank or a water cistern. Those old farmers were do it yourself guys. I think the cistern is more likely. Who needs a septic tank when the bathroom is a two holer out back and the drain from the kitchen sink runs out to the vegetable patch.
 
Thank You I am hoping that is what it is. If so I may have a bunch of cool things to detect around my home. As far as I know this home never had a septic tank and until the mid 80's this was all farmland except the hill our home is built on. We shall see I plan on digging more today and hopefully I can lift it and see what it is.
 
No more updates ? :(:roll:
This was perhaps a portal to a 3rd. dimension ... the one they are looking for at CERN .... hopefully is he still OK ..:wow:
