Trash, trade, decoration?

[Salura]

I know these are shells.
A clam, oyster(?), mussel (?), and conch.

I dug them out of my yard, about 4" down while pulling out some rebar my detector beeped on. I was smoothing out the area I took the 7 pieces of rebar out of the ground and found them the the space between protruding trunk roots.

Anyway to tell if I found a trash pit, previous owners decorations, or what?

Hello Salura,

To find out if you've got a trash pit, invoke shovel, and dig down and around. Are you seeing ash?

 

[Salura]

No ash. Just that fine Florida sand under the layer of roots and compost.

I always pay attention when I find shells far from the beach.

What's the green rock under them,

The rock beneath the items is my patio furniture.

Hey Salura,

It may just be me, but I don't believe photos of your shells, or patio furniture showed up.

The "green rock" under my shells is the remains of some copper sheet.

 

[Salura]

Sorry to disappoint you, but that is my patio furniture and I did find those shells in my yard.

What's so hard to believe?

Salura there isn't a picture of your shells or patio furniture it didn't load.

Sorry, here's the photos. I set them on my patio table to get the pics mostly
