I've owned the 30 acres I'm on since 04 and just recently discovered these. It's in an area that's usually quite wet so I have never ventured into it very far.
What is it?

Was just looking at my Google home page and this was one of the articles that showed up.
Coincidence or are they monitoring my web activity?
