Before they were so closely regulated, septics often had a trap in them between the plumbing and the tank that was intended for recovering lost items before they got into the tank, where they were more likely to be lost during the periodic cleanings…..

Would the trap be near the tank or in the house? Might be worth a dig it is only a few inches from the surface see if I can locate anything
