What is this?

Does anyone know what these things are? We keep digging these old things up in our yard. They appear to be a hard plastic with some kind of electronics inside them. Thanks.

What’s on the other end of the flex?
Is there any writing on it, or a sticker?

I’m thinking float switch??

How many have you uncovered?

I would be surprised if it was a detonator of any sort.

What type of ground is it?
If it's a desert area they may be moisture sensors for an irrigation system.

@Ruzzell I don’t have a clue as to what that is but call City hall and have someone to come out and check it. The electronics inside is what I would worry about

I wondered the same but, no, ours is a residential lot built in 1901. Doesn't seem there would be electronic detonators at that time.
