did you check your garden to see if any of the soil has been disturbed or dug up?

it's pretty weird
i'm a big believer in ghostie signs and messages (i've had countless ones from my mom since she passed--various types of signs)

have you lost anyone who would possibly be giving you some sort of message or sign with this--?

i know it sounds odd but my mom and i had a running joke about how she liked to clip her bills & mail together with a large silver paper clip and she only had a couple left. she'd give me her bills to mail and tell me to be sure i gave her that paper clip back to her. sometimes i'd tease her and tell her i accidentally mailed it. (oh no!) then i'd give it back to her, we'd laugh and make smart ass comments about it. it was one of those dumb little things that we kept ourselves amused with. when she died i started finding them in random places--not in the house but in places outside the house such as parking lots, sidewalks, floors of stores, on a stage, on a booth seat at a restaurant, or a chair, elevator, etc. i found quite a few the first two years, and even some the third year. maybe only one or two this last year.

i never noticed them anywhere before. pennies yes. occasional nickels and dimes yes. but big silver paper clips? um...no--not that i ever noticed. but when i'd ask her to give me a sign sometimes those paper clips would be the sign she was giving me. she kept the couple she had on the corner of her dresser. so when i started finding them i'd bring them home and put them on her dresser. there is quite a few there now. (not the plastic, colored ones, not the small silver ones--just the large ones. i'm gonna go count them....32! plus one large blue one--blue was her favorite color so i counted that one as a sign.)

anyway, my point is--people would think a rainbow could be a sign, or a bird on a windowsill, a butterfly, or a specific type of flower blooming maybe in cold weather, etc. (and i've had other types of signs as well) but who would ever think large silver paper clips would be a sign? (i would because it was, like i said, a running joke between me & her for several years.) so i'm wondering if what's happening with you could be some sort of sign from someone you knew.

just a thought to add to your mystery.
