You never know what’s lying just beneath the surface in your own yard.

Most people find some old coins or a rusty bicycle chain. But two men in Michigan hit the jackpot when they discovered the remains of a massive Ice Age mammal.

Contractor Daniel LaPoint Jr. was working in Eric Witzke’s Bellevue, Mich., yard when he noticed a giant rib sticking out of the ground, according to the Lansing State Journal. Over four days in November, the two worked together to pull 42 bones out of the ground.

Davy Villanueva hoped the fish would be biting when he went out to the San Antonio River a few weeks ago, but he never imagined he’d see a tooth bigger than the size of his two fists.

The Karnes City, Texas, fisherman found what he believes is a tooth from a mastodon, the big-tusked behemoths that roamed North America as far back as 3.75 million years ago, according to Illinois State Museums. The mammoth-related beasts became extinct 11,000 years ago.
