Simon Marks, 37, believed he had driven onto a flowerbed when his car’s wheels became impaled in a crater.

The damage he had caused to his car made him think, “Well, this day couldn’t get any worse.”

He was ready to examine the damage more closely when he heard the horrible sound, which caused his heart to accelerate. Exactly what was that?

Simon knelt down to get a better look and noticed that the driveway’s stones were cracked; then, just in front of him, the driveway started to give way.

A completely new surprise was revealed as the pavers continued to shatter with an ominous sound.

He effortlessly removed the dirt, revealing a bit of metal underneath.

He used his bare hands to uncover it until he could grasp it, at which point he tried to pull as hard as he could without success.

He made the decision to go around and try to piece together as much of the mystery surrounding the object as he could.
